We also have had unusual weather in Eastern Washington. Lots of years we get almost no precipitation from mid-July until mid-September and it is almost like a desert this time of year. I have measured just over 2.5 inches of rain in the last week in my rain gauge, which has to be a near record amount for August. It is supposed to get fairly seasonable for a few days and then get rainy again next week. The pastures are greening up like they usually do in October..... It had been a very hot and dry summer and the yearly precipitation total was a couple of inches less than average. Now we are over the usual amount. I hope that most of the grain has been harvested around the area. Excess moisture or sprouting in the head is not usually a problem around here, but it could be something to consider this year. Crazy weather! I sure don't know what to expect. We have had fairly mild winters for several years, with the coldest times being in November and December. Most of the West has been in a drought, so I hope the average or above average precipitation continues, even if it is snow. Hope things work out well for you too!
