The Land of Milk and Honey

I have found the accuracy of Raindrop to be very inconsistent. I have manual rain gauges at all locations. I use it tell if we got rain in a location, but otherwise I will trust a manual rain gauge to be more accurate.
 
Well dang it. Is Rain Drop usually high or low? Or is it somewhat random?

When you find a good app let me know.

Both….. LOL, actually today it was spot on for one farm and .25 higher than actual at the other
 
Did a little drone look. First my OG plot as mentioned. Not much to look at.

Corn looks nice. It’s getting the clover/rye/oats treatment later this fall (oats may be earlier or next spring). Ears were already 8” long and ping pong ball girth before this last rain. They are set up nice.

Lastly my bean/milo field. This also got overseeded right before the rain and the Milo got a nitrogen boost. Should set up great! I’m hanging a stand off the top left (NW) corner of this field at the creek crossing. I should be able to see this and the corn field perfectly and catch bucks cruising between the two. We have a lot of SW winds in the fall and my scent should then blow right up the ditch to my North which is impassible by deer. I like what I am seeing!

How much corn is that, looks great! It looks like in the bottom left corner you may have enough sunlight to broadcast some brassicas for some extra tonnage.

It’s just 2 acres. That bottom left corner has some funny business. Coon or deer damage I think. A touch in the upper right as well. Those two spots might get the treatment yet. I plan to knock down a path from the bottom left to the top right when the corn matures. About 20 yards wide all the way through. Then tuck a blind in the edge and brush it in with stalks like Don Kisky. That’s for dad. He always wanted to sit in a blind like that. It should help visibility from my future stand at the creek crossing too. I’m looking forward to seeing how all this comes together this fall.
