I don't know about the ditches but  the fields here are the same, when I dug through the top crust on the packed  trail there was water on the ground underneath.

What more is there to update - are you wondering if a refund was actually issued or not - I imagine it was, otherwise there would be justification to continue the discussion I would think?   Otherwise, product never received and refund issued......and moving on to another option - you generally do not continue to kick the dead horse once you are done with the transaction by means of cancelling it. 

Any final update? Thanks 

Not that bad here. It's all rideable at moment 

Not near us.  3 inches of rain yesterday.  Ditches are full of water, and fields have water laying
