Congratulations.  How much have you gotten?  Practically all of the state needs it so badly.

It keeps missing us.  We got maybe a 1/4 inch this week.

Hope you get another 1-2 inches every few days. When it gets that dry it takes a bunch of water to bring things back to normal, especially when it is hot!  Good luck!

We got 2.20 near College Station this morning , very welcomed !

Just curious.  How fast did the rain soak into the dry ground?  I'm real happy for all of you!

We got 5 3/4" this morning here in Corsicana which is an hour south of Dallas.  Our whole county got anywhere from 4-6". Hopefully we can get a little more behind this one to do some good.

We have only done one cutting which was the rye grass. Last year we baled 500 big rounds and this year we only made 250. So we were at 50% to where we usually are.  Our coastal looks decent but still not near ready to cut if we get to at all. What town are you from?

Up here in the Northern Midwest we have not had a full week of dry weather.  We have bad flooding problems everywhere.  If mother nature was kind to us both, she would maybe flip flop our present climate so you could get more rain and we could get less.  Hopefully you start to get more rain so you can lessen your worries.
