    That’s the high water stage. Water fills pods and makes big seeds other wise pepper. Our next good rain event would be needed in three weeks to fill plump seeds.

      About 4" since May 1st but 3.6 of that after June 21. Really varies in even a mile, could be an inch more or less on the farm. 1/2" last night hard rain at times, lots of thunder.

        We are about 3" here also. Lots of rain around us but we only get the edge of the storms. Biggest rain of the summer was .8 and the rest of the of the rains have been .4 or less. Just lots of small showers. The crop looks decent because of good subsoil moisture and the cool temps so far. The crop has used up most of the available moisture and will need a rain soon.
        We have had more rain this year and better subsoil than we did in 88 and 02 and the temps have been a lot cooler and the is a lot better.

            Pretty much exactly as here .
            You don’t have to go far , 10-15 min drive and rainfall totals are 50% higher

              We are at 5.5 inches.....3.5 came on June 21 in 6 hours....and as much as everyone thinks it will soak in ...they are wrong it sloughs and then it soaks in after done drowning out the potholes....


              In reality over the majority of the acres we might have 2 inches in the ground....its right ****ed....or will be....

                Totals have been very variable, but over our acres, we’ve had anywhere between 6-9.5” since before the Apr 27 snowstorm. Some in our area would be over that, depending on where storms have tracked. We had some fall rains, and a decent snowcover. If one had good emergence, things are looking pretty good. There is very little canola on lentil stubble that came up evenly. It’s looking better now that it’s rained and is flowering, but there is a lot of patches that are full of 3 week old canola. Not many swathers around anymore. Group 2 chem damage from 2018 and even 2017 applications in pulses are prevalent, especially canola and barley.

                      We wont be much over 2" of meaningful rain here since snow melt. Grass seed is very poor but somehow the rest of the crops still look pretty good. For now..
