Heavy rains

Got 1 inch won't help the crop but my yard and trees truly appreciate it. Some cereals and canary pummeled.

Mother Nature wasn’t kind last night, 7/10” to 2” of rain last night along with hurricane winds. Twisted up our flax and wheat fields, will make harvest more difficult and a lot slower. Hopeful to start preharvest spraying early next week on the early seeded wheat, will have to add at least another week onto the fields that were twisted up.

Heavy rain in places, does not make grain...

Cargill would tell me I chicken shitted on inputs.

Not fun. I hate mud. Storms bypassed us yesterday thankfully. Long way to go yet though.

On the plus side we will know if the germination is good right in the field in about 10 days

.75 rain this morning and still coming. Soybeans look like a great crop.

Is that magnitude of recovery common for soybeans?

Every year we see pictures of soybeans early in the season from somewhere in the world looking awful. Then at the end of the season, the disaster is inevitably averted.

There seems to be a lot of truth to the wisdom that soybeans are made in August ( or the equivalent in the southern hemisphere or double crop).

I only wish the crops we grow could make a recovery like that after being drowned out.

We have had a lot of rain early and beans took it the best. Rains in July and August are the most beneficial since beans are not deep rooted.
