As far as Im concernedit could rain like this for 2 weeks and I hope it does. We need it BAD.

We got a quarter of an inch here. Barely settled the dust.. Seems like the rain was mostly to the east or South of here from Dennis... I need about 2 weeks in a row of .25 inches a day to even come close to normal for summer. In reality all of the cool season plants are done for they year anyways as it was so hot and dry for so long they went dormant.. The farmers with irrigation don't have much faith in the forcasts for more rain, irrigators are running all over the place today.


Corn may like dry feet but when the leavess are curling by 8:30 am and don't uncurl until after nightfall the heat/drought is really putting a beating on the plants.

We got 3/10ths yesterday after it was said and done.

I think we should all just keep saying our proper prayers and keeping our fingers crossed. I was thinking about all the food plots we planted could crap out and other things that related to potential harvests of nice deer. But ya know, we'll get some deer. maybe not as many or maybe not as grand as we dream, but we'll get some deer off the property again, we always do.

But I want the rain to keep the real crops going. The farmers need it morethan we do. Drought can really take a toll on the economics.

Remember the farmer come harvest time.
