One good proper flooding and you will never complain about drought again.

Crop looking ok in my neighborhood, 6 inches of rain over Canada long weekend and nothing since until 2 nights ago, 7/10 in a thunderstorm, actually was welcome. But things are late and will be lucky to beat frost I think.

Financially I’ll take a drought over flood.
A drought usually means early and easy harvest with less wear and tear on equipment.
However the few times in my career when drought was the issue I found it to be very depressing. The accompanying heat, dust and general feeling all around is overbearing.

Nothing here moisture wise in 30 days and counting. Today is a saving grace at only 80° with minimal wind. Yesterday was 95° and a 25mph SW wind. 86, 90, 96 for the next 3 days. We'll beat those temps by 4 or 5° now as the humidity is all but gone.

Crop stinks like curing hay every morning. Working outside trying to fix equipment is essentially self-flagellation.

0.1" of moisture in July. Early crop will be slightly above average, mid to late seeded is getting pummeled. Some spots didn't even bother poking a head out of the boot.

Overall will be average... I hope. Deferred sales WILL NOT be an income tax problem, that's for sure

On drought vs flood... I'll admit, I'll NEVER experience a flood here unless a modern Noah is building an ark. Even then, i might suggest he just come camp here. Both take a toll, financially and mentally. 21, 22, 23, 24 left me wondering whether I'd be able to survive 25 with a modicum of sanity. Next year...

We're usually wet but I remember a year we had heavy rain almost every third day and it tried to rain most Days, so 4 to 5 out if 7, creeks ran all summer till freeze up. You harvested hills on rolly land on flat land you couldn't move a combine in most fields, one half section of oats we swath had water in swather tracks up and down with a swath in the middle looked cool but not fun.
Tough on equipment mind etc. Yes no rain in 28 days but better than flood.because in the east side were one rain away from problems because once it starts again it keeps going.
