Poached fields, no silage, and little or no spring crops sown out are just some of the problems mounting up on farms province-wide.
Throw in the fact that very few potato crops have yet been sown out – while the prospects of getting maize established over the coming week or so are nil – and it's hard not to conclude that the knock-on effects of the current bad weather will be very severe come harvest time.
But it's the challenge of the here and now that is occupying the mind of Macosquin milk producer Bertie McCullough. Currently, milking 100 cows, the entire herd is in day and night at the present time.
"We let the cows out a few weeks back," Bertie told Farming Life.
"But ground conditions are now so bad that we had no option but to re-house them. We are feeding quite high levels of meal in order to keep our milk levels up. But all of this comes at a significant cost. And, as everyone knows, milk prices are pretty low at the present time."
Meanwhile, Ulster Farmers' Union President Graham Furey fully recognises that many farmers have had stock in since last August and the additional cost of purchasing expensive silage and meal at this time of the year is putting a significant strain on the economics of most farming businesses.
"We are fast reaching crisis point," Mr Furey told Farming Life.
"It will take at least five days' decent weather to get ground back into shape. It's not too late yet for potatoes. But even if the rain stopped tomorrow it's touch and go as to whether farmers could justify planting spring cereal or maize crops at this late stage."
He concluded: "Additional costs are continuing to mount on farms across Northern Ireland. The Union is, therefore, calling on the banks to be as flexible as possible with their farmer customers, given the current circumstances."
