If anybody wants some extra, we have more than enough!

We talked about the 6-8 inches and the breeched dams and flooding......since then as things dried off a little, another 1/2 inch plus soaked things down again. I got some more planted last 2 days having to go around a few sippy holes. I have about 45 acres left to plant, all wetter type fields, and it's supposed to rain about an inch today and tonight. Might have to put the cows on a diet if I don't get some crops in.

Our renter has some couple hundred acres too wet to plant in Big Spring MO, trying to get beans down and just not getting dry enough, running out of time.

We had a lot of cold before that huge rain. We had several inches of snow on Mother's day, 6-8 inches of rain on 5/18. Then it got to 92 degrees and baked the ground HARD. Tomorrow night it's supposed to be 34F!!!

We have already had over 70% of our normal rainfall for the year. Caught it dry enough to plant the garden about a month ago; nothing came up, had to replant a few days ago. Plants I set out are doing okay but not great. Just a minor inconvenience for me but I really hate it for the farmers that are trying to get crops in the ground.

Got 3" over the past 7 days. Not supposed to get any more for a week. Might cut hay Monday. Then it will rain. The field I have hay on never gets a breeze, so it takes extra long to dry. Been looking for a Tedder but the used ones get sold before I can get back to them.

The winter wheat sure looks happy! It might come in early around here. I think they got all of the planting done around here.

Tom I found one that needed about everything. Got it rebuilt and it works good. Might be an option for you.
