Rain

More than happy to take some off your hands if you want to send it up. Thanks!! LOL

I would if I could. This is one of several foodplots that look like this. You can see part of a box stand behind that big willow center of picture.

Up until yesterday, it has been dangerously dry in my area. Wild fires popping up all over, the DNR, and local fire departments have been busy. Yesterday and today we are suppose to get about .8" total, not a ton, but should help with greening stuff up so fires arent as bad. Just a few days ago there was a fire about 8 miles north of me that was rather big, burnt about 250 acres, we had all the local fire departments there, water planes from Brainerd MN there to help, luckily the wind was blowing in the direction of a small river and they kept it from jumping the river, a couple structures lost.

We need rain.

I will accept that… About 1.25” of that came in 20 minutes. We needed a pond filler. Curious to see how much it helped.

We got .70 today at a moderate rate. While we need a good heavy rain this was about ideal for now. Settle the dirt on the newly planted trees and keep my new basement from being a swimming pool!

Yeah, that would be a nightmare on a build site. I actually rented a compactor hoping I would get rained out. Mission accomplished!

We got .85 today with .75 in tomorrows forecast I’d take even more if I could get it I had hoped to stock that pond I cleaned out last fall this spring but it’s still pretty low and I don't just want to feed the herons.

Well I think we have gotten about 5” that pond that only had a foot or two last week is about 2 foot from full today fish truck was at local feed store this morning so I picked up 3lbs of minnnows and 100 bluegill for that pond.

Two drought years in a row to flooding this year I lost two water gaps completely.

Like all of us, I love weather when it's relatively mild and with just the right amount of gentle rain from time to time... 12 inches in less than 24 hours, I do NOT love so much. Then to add insult to injury, the flooding was followed by a two-week dry spell that now finds plantings showing signs of drought stress.

Finally got some rain up there yesterday. We drove by the Smith Bridge burn. It could've been much worse if not for the ground crews and Fire Boss SEATs

Could use a little here in NY,but not too bad. Watered my new trees for the 2nd time. These are ones at home. General rule for me it no rain in 3 days, new guys get a little water.

Supposed to be finishing up planting at the farm and heading home in 2 days.

I canceled flights. Good thing. I’d be sitting there looking at mud. My fear is once I can plant the rain will stop. Been there done that.

Don’t freak out over it. These things happen and we still hunt and have fun.

Some people talk about all the storms missing their place. And then God looks at our farm and says, “F U!”

I renamed our place in Southern Ohio Moses last year- the shit parted both ways around us. The most moisture I got last summer in my plots was sweat from mosquitos.
Its God's way of prompting a plot overhaul.

Sprinkled at our house this evening, but 4 inches in an hour at the farm. Yes, the ponds are now full-lol. Of course it also came with damaging hail too

Yea just under 3" for us in about 45 minutes. Helped the ponds. Enough little hail that I am sure that my wife's new vehicle suffered some light hail dings. At least we didnt have a tornado. Breached one of the egress window openings in the basement of the new house so now I get to hose the mud off that floor. Or with what appears to be never ending chance of rain in the forecast I can squeeqy it in the rain. LOL Never can win.

We had several small funnels try to drop just south of town and then had to work a wreck where a chaser rear ended another car,no serious injuries but it was raining probably rate of 3-4 inches an hour.Haven't totals on rain but with milo getting planted last week I bet my SIL has to replant about 5 days worth of tractor time.

 

[Wind Gypsy]

Typical spring mucky fields at my place and getting worse.

 

[SwampCat]

Not really too bad last week - only got a little over 3” for the week. They are now predicting rain on eleven out of the next 14 days.

I hear that. I just got my corn planter finished the day after our 1.75". Now I can't get in the field! Haha!
