We received 2 inches a week ago here in Minnesota by the Twin CIties. It was the first big rain we have had all Summer.

the beans here in north central KY have been wilting for about 2 weeks and are now turning yellow. Most corn is completely without green and cobs are wilted down and pointing at the ground. Its so dry that the even weeds in the shade of the woods are wilted.

Second year in a row that folks around here are selling cows in the summer cause they are already having to feed hay and will never make it through the winter

I have really wet soils here in southern MN. Last year was the 2nd driest year I've ever lived through, and we had really good corn. So I come from a different perspective....

Been kinda wet this year down here. There was a dry spell in the middle, corn on my one sand hill rolled a little bit. But was nice to get the low spots dried out some, so the roots grew & the crops in the low started perking up.

Got 3 inches in the past week, way too much rain again. A damp forcast, rain chance about every other day.

Yuck.

You must be east of Lansing. It didn't start up over here until this morning while I was feeding.Sure is nice to sit inside for a good reason for a change. 'Course it could just be that I'm getting to be like a guy who lived out east of town. They always said when it was raining he couldn't work,and when it wasn't raining he wouldn't work.

None north of St Johns either. We are getting like a desert up here.

It's been dry here in MD too. I've kept the tomatoes watered and mulched. Should get some rain from Hannah starting Friday night into Saturday. We had the same problem in Sept 1999
that was dry and hot from May through Sept and then we were hit with Tropical storm Floyd. We received 8.3 inches of rain and we were hit with another TS called Dennis in Sept before Floyd arrived and a total of over 15 inches. We had an early frost in Oct too. Hal

 

[Paul from MI]

Got 1.8" last night here south of Coldwater, MI. Since the second week of July we've had about an inch. Corn and beans really hurting but may turn around a bit if it's not too late.

You're more than welcome to take back the rest of the rain you sent to us. We've probably had 10" in the last 10 days or so. Since mid July we've had 5 days of good sunshine to make hay...
Please, take the rain back.
