Sure getting tired of rain. Been 2 years now, more wet than dry. Get a bit of a dry spell each year just enough to hurt yields on the hill tops, but then it fires up the rain clouds again.
Hard for a farmer in my neighborhood to be sitting on my hands on October, this is harvest time!
With all the rain and relatively cool weather, crops are behind. Beans still have some yellow leaves on. Corn is in the high 20s for moisture, or 30s.
Just had another inch of rain yesterday. Can see puddles in the fields. More rain on the way the next 24 hours. Flood watches just north of me through 1/3 of the state.
Ground doesn't dry out easy this time of year. Not warm enough to evaporate any more, our clayish soil doesn't perk much.
Hard to sit and look out the window.
