THAT looks like some serious rain. Can I get you to come to SC and cut some hay so we can get some rain? Seriously, I know the feeling. BTDT many times.
Bright side is, it'll make the grass grow.

The odds of that happening in this country within 24 hours of my dropping that wheat is incalculable.

Enough of this small talk. Just pass the darned bottle. :>)

Agree with you on the odds. That area is maybe 15 inches a year precipitation? Yeah. don't play the lottery.

Still think you can get cow hay out of it.

Now you can plow that field that was too dry.

Re your earlier comment about people not wanting to live there, I'll quote an old lady from ND: The bad weather keeps the riff raff out.

Going to sign off and go work on an electric fence.

You didnt get any of the afternoon storms? We did!!!!!! Got a little hairy there for about 20 minutes, lost power once but it soon came back on, winds probably 45 and pea size hail. Upper Laurens County.

Allan: there's alot of people in north alabama would like to see that here. corn is already yellow and twisted and if it don't rain soon there won't be a corn crop here. We're in extreme drought condition here. Hope you get dry weather there.

Coming from someone whose probably never seen a wheatfield, except from an airplane:

I know you cut the wheat 'cause it wasn't doing much from being planted too thick.

Would've this rain been what it needed to get the goosing to do well?

Yep , your a farmer alwright . It's to wet it's to cold , it's to hot it's to dry . The cow's aren't milke vary good beef prices are down why am i tryen to raise hog's they ain't worth nothing . Just another day in the life of a farmer. As for us well things are GOOD at the moment corn looks real good the last 20+ acres is mowed and by this time tomarrow it will be all wrapped up IF the baler does not take a dump or one of the tractors doesn't blow up or the new hay rake don't throw the wheel off or i don't break the ft. end off in one of them darn ground hog CONDO's . Moved the rake and the 1066 and baler down this evening and should have moved the rake down lastnigh and raked today as we could have been balen ., it's dryen that fast.

Sorry to hear about your "pour" weather. Kinda funny hear in Western NY an area know for it's rain. We are having some of the best hay weather I've ever seen. Park the tedder, just mow it, rake and bale it in bout 3 days. made about 375 4x4 round bales since Sunday off of 70 acres. Dropping another 40 tonight when I get done here.

I'll send you a self-addressed stamped 5-gallon bucket if you'll send it back FULL of rain water. In Kentucky we're 8" short for the year and drier' talcum powder on a soda cracker. Less than 1/3" in May. .2" so far in June. Driest I've ever seen it this early in all my 60 years. So don't complain too loud, or you might just get some of our weather.

Watching GMA this morning and seen it was raining out there can't recall location, but watched round bales foating down ditches that where over there banks Allen I've enjoyed all your posts and pictures, it's like take a trip and never leave the farm sittin on that sack of seed. What a song. Might have to get some juice out of it now. It will be something to remember next year. Boco So. Il.

I can tell you with all sincerity that north dakota weather will not keep (ALL) the riff Raff out...;o) just most of it.

Told ya that wheat looked just fine!

Naw,

It wouldn't have saved the wheat crop.

I just thought it was ironic that I had to cut it for hay and immediately thereafter when the stuff is still on the ground, we get one of the biggest rains of the year. :>)

i believe the saying is "before I bought this farm I used to drink and swear for no reason. Now I have a reason"

Looks a little like that up here right now. 2 inches of rain in the last two days, on top of already saturated soil. Good thing haying season is still a ways off.

Hope your luck turns.
