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.
