    Ya thinkin the same thing seabass?? It's perfect, we are out of out of flood zone, no wait it's way too much, god dam it we missed the last rain we are screwed !! All in the last 35 days lol.
    S/F , I thought I was dramatic at times lmao, keep postin - it is entertaining.
    In this area it still remains the ole 1/3 rule , 1/3 of the crop is exellent, 1/3 ave and 1/3 will be absolute garbarge - depends on rain fall areas and farm to farm - as always.
    Some crops side by side are excellent or garbage regardless of weather .......

      Every time we have a rain event, one of the radars goes down, WTF aren't they water proof? Some cheap crap.
      Don't need them on sunny days!

          Furrow and seabass what I ment is we have a
          great crop coming finally after five years of mud,
          we're back to normal precipitation. But we all
          know a inch a week till August makes it perfect.
          So yes yesterday I was pissed when a rain event
          happens and we get 4 tents and all around us
          gets a inch. Oh we'll it's like a good dew!

            SF3, after 100" in 3 years I wouldn't
            mind a touch drier. Get some oxygen back
            in the soil, nutrient cycling, maybe
            even get some roots down past 8" and
            recover some of those leached nutrients.
            I'll give up a couple bushels if it
            means better soil health moving forward.

              Ado I agree with you on getting our land back
              after 100 plus inches. It's just funny the area that
              lost crop to floods was the area that got 4 tenths
              all the other areas got 1 inch or better.

                One buddy. Texted me maybe I blessed he got
                over two inches, not needed. It's one of these
                glass half full scenarios.

                  From what was looking like a drought in May to nearly 8" in 3 weeks here. 2.3" friday/saturday. It is a little too wet now and just had my best section of lentils flattened with another 0.5" in 5 minutes tonight.
