One of the farmers who gives us permission to walk his fields began putting his crops in one of those fields under plastic a few years back. It's a growing trend among farms in general in RI and Ma. With a very tiny window of opportunity between plowing up, and then planting and covering in plastic, on Wed. I put a couple hours in, since we had gotten about 3" of rain over 2 days.
This field has always been problematic when it's been saturated that much. Sure enough, at one point I suddenly sank, both legs a little past my knees, and I'm tall. Had to lean face forward into the mud and use my elbows to push down to extricate myself. And briefly, it was questionable if I could do it, or would need to phone for assistance:-(
Kept getting one leg out, and then promptly falling forward into the mud.
But, ya gotta do what ya gotta do, and that's what a hot shower is for, lol. I wet the argillite point to show what it looks like in a wet field.
