350 Crawler on another job

[Case Nutty 1660]

Had to clean up some straw a couple weeks back,, had a Very good friend stopping by , things are about the same here we did get in the past two weeks close to 2" of h20,, first real h20 for over a year now for us and many others, Monday evening another big cell built up, it produced 60 mph winds hail and some h20, it took outa bout 200 acres of my grain, if we get enough h20 yet it can grow back,, not sure yet though. we also had several tornados do some damage here the same day, one small one was 132 feet from my house, had the 20' tall trees twisting and flat on the ground,, zero grass hay so far ,though it has started to green up again,, sadly most here with cows are already feeding them, those who are not yet will be soon,, hate to think what this will do to cow numbers,, but with hay bring 300.00 a ton here I see why many are selling off some or all If some wonder why the 195 hood is up thats to keep the engine heat when shut off from burning the hood paint,

Thanks for posting the pics. To bad about your lack of rain. That effects so many things from wells to crops to trees to reservoirs and livestock. To bad about the tornado. We went thru a F3 two years ago and what a mess. Hang in there Nutty.

Came thru down by Lusk last week on our way from Denver to Rapid City. Dry as a bone down there.

I will get some crop shots and post soon as well, I had one 55 acre field of newer planted alfalfa, it was 10" high bright green and blooming,, not enough to hay but looked great, was thinking it might make seed, the worst I had of the hail turned the whole field brown, you could not have done a better job taking it out if you used a mower set as low s it would go, it litterly scrubbed the plants to the crown

Can appreciate your lack of rain. Haven't had more than a sprinkle since the last time I mowed hay, and then got enough to ruin it. Did get hay put up yesterday, now if some rain would show up, all would be well. Soybeans are not sprouting because the ground is too dry. We all operate on faith, sometimes it's hard.
