RAIN..............

Please send me some. We are not really dry yet but a good soaker would really be nice with a lot of my late corn is tasseling now.
 
I wish I could 4520. The creek was almost over the road in front of our house, My neighbors no-till corn stalks are everywhere. The water backed up in the wife's basement so I know what we are doing this morning.---Tee
 
We have been like that most of the spring. I could plants for a day or two then we would get 5 inches. We lost a lot of beans to the river last week but never got any rain! Jim in Rush co sent me all his water!
 
I've had 9/10ths of a inch since the first of June. We have had flooding 30 miles North and South of me. Even my friend 8 miles North of me has had 3-4 inches since June 1. US drought map has one little Yellow Spec in Mi. and I think it is right over my house. I'm still amazed that my crops look as good as they do under the circumstances. Its trying to rain right now although radar shows its going around, again.
 
Sure could use a little of that here (central Kansas). Most rain at one time since May was .65 a couple of weeks ago which lasted a couple of days. Crops are holding on but sure starting to show stress. No rain in a couple of weeks and they will be done for the most part. The corn is all tasseled out but not sure if it is filling. Soybeans look pretty good in the morning but wilted in the p.m. Milo about the same as the beans. Oh, by the way, high temps for the last week have exceeded 105 with 108 the past few days. A little relief for today, only predicting 102 and a little better tomorrow, only 91.
 
Dang Tee, rain may make grain, but too much rain washes grain away!!

You might wanna grab your personal flotation device next time you git up on yer traktor!! :shock:
 
Cant buy a rain here...The last good rain was July 4th which normally would make the corn...
This year due to excess rain there was lots of late planted and replant corn in my area so most
is 6 weeks or more behind...Its been 95-100 all week....Today it will be 100 with up to a 20 mph south
wind..Only small chances for rain this weekend...Chances of a decent corn crop are fastly fading..
 
Dry down here in south central Ks as well. Some chance of rain tomorrow and early next week but not much. Went past a bean field last night that was pretty much burned up.
 
We know the feeling here in Pa as well. There's guys still planting corn. Dry hay is impossible to make and thick I've never seen hay so thick. The fields I have gotten. Done are yeilding 3_4 times what they normally do although quality is way down. I'm scared to see winter this year with how plentiful the crops are.
 
The radar weather maps we see looks like all this stuff starts down by Kansas. The weather media learned a new to me word this week-"Ring of Fire". That is all you hear on the news this week. Reminds me of when Britain voted to leave the EU, their new word was Briexit and the biased media made fun of Donald nnalert when he said he never heard of that word. GOOD LUCK with your weather.---Tee
 
Here in Missouri it is common to go from floods to a drought in a month or so. We had a early warm spring and then a couple hard frost in lat March and lot of rain then all at once no rain and it is dryer then a pop corn fart here and we are now behind in the rain gauge. Things started to grow in Feb when they should not have been then the hard frost in late March shut down every thing. The hay crop in this area this year is poor and many have said 1/3-1/2 less then most years. July is behind more the 2 inch in the rain gauge
 
We've been in a drought. I got 1/2 inch Wednesday, 3/8 Friday morning and 1 3/16 early this morning (Saturday). Not too much yet, but we're good for now and I appreciate it.
 
Another old saying--PLANT IN DUST-YOUR BINS WILL BUST---Tee

N. Illinois I got 4.5 yesterday, first inch in about 15 minutes, was walking back to the house when I heard the sump pump running which is rare, couple hours later the water was coming up fast in the basements. I was loosing ground with 3 pumps going, brother in-law brought 2 more, one was junk. Got 2 basements/ one built in 02 that has a 4 inch pipe from the pit around the floor where the water was coming from/ other basement is a nasty old limestone one that hasn't leaked since the early 90s. Finally said screw it at 4am and went bed/up at 5:30 with 4 inches in each basement/ got to Menards around seven/woman said they sold over 40 before I got there/ slim pickens bought one she recommended with an inch and a half hose and finally am keeping up with a pump in each basement. Most of the water came from under the floors/ water table might be high after 5.7 3or4 weeks ago and a few inches in between. Wife heard route 20 is closed in a couple places and 75 too. Ready for a nap now.
 
Got a whole .1 of an inch this morning. Rest of rain storms have passed by here for the last couple weeks. We need rain here in central Michigan. Any one can spare some please send it our way.
 
While I was trying to bale hay, it would rain every couple days.

Now that I'm done and want it to grow back....no rain

Rain goes north of us, south of us, quits just to the west of us....but it's nothing we haven't been through before
