themetallurgist, that is my understanding as well. Leases in Woodson County are more likely to be located in or around fields which are actively farmed which means the surrounding ground is likely freshly cultivated so therefore take a little longer to dry out. But, the fields in Montgomery County are more likely to be on an acreage with hard packed ground so these should dry out quickly.
Hemi has so many leases that I'm certain the above isn't true in all cases but I think, at least to my understanding, that it is at least mostly accurate for each county.
And, as has been mentioned a little already, just because it is raining doesn't mean all action in Hemi Land just stops and people sleep til noon each day. If it is bad enough we can't get in the field for a bit, I'll bet the guys are reviewing the building full of info they have obtained over the years and looking to pick up even more sweet leases. If the weather continues to give us a bit of a setback as it has before, I'm confident the Hemi crew will take advantage of it to the best of their ability. Look at how much Hemi has expanded their footprint in Kansas during the previous bad weather... it is possible that any extra time now available will be used to focus even more intently on future acquisitions and the weather being viewed as a minor setback now might be looked upon later as a blessing.
