anybody got some rain and cool weather to send me

cowdoc

just come in to check on the computer to see if my JD dealer has some parts for my silage cutter in stock, anyways its 105deg 17 %humidity 25 mph sw wind we are staring to chop corn here now as it is about dead from no rain and 100+ temps and a lot of wind, alot of the corn didnt make an ear so will have to chop about all of it. anyways if any of you got to much rain and cool weather send it our way please.

Probably too late, but we sent a small cool pocket your way yesterday. Hopefully Wyoming won't use it all up.

Sorry to hear about the corn. I know how it hurts to make silage out of it. We've got hundred of thousands of acres of dry-farm wheat that won't pay for W&T on the combines.

Clouder..

cowdoc,
We have had less than an inch of rain since the end of June, and have had 12 days lately in a row over 100 degrees. The corn made about 1/2 ears and they are cutting it now. the soybeans looked good up until this week and they are burning now. I had 111 degrees on my thermometer Wed, The rain seems to be all around us. The only thing that looks pretty good still is milo. Yards and pastures are gone for this year. I feel for you bud.

clouder we got that yesterday wasnt to bad here think it got into the high 80's is all.
guess we normally get pretty hot from july to mid sept. have seen it hotter, just gets damn disgusting when it gets that hot and dryer than a bone and have to watch the crops burn up to nothing.
these last two and a half years have been way below normal for moisture
and late spring freezes,guess it does no good to ***** about it, it'll rain some day and also some areas have been dry for a lot more years than we have been.
one thing is for sure is that when the sunflowers pretty much tip over and just about die you know there is no moisture left in the ground for a long ways down.

cowdoc, Just been out checking corn today that was planted 6/22, 6/23/ and 7/1!!!! Hope the frost doesn't come early....average first frost is 10/20!! As long as the fall army worms don't hit, we'll make it...excluding a frigging hurricane!! Have had 60 inches of rain ...normal total is 38 inches a year! Would have loved to sent you some!!!! later, GHD

holysheet GHD 60" rain, it would take ten years to get 60" of moisture in these parts [:)] our avg rain/snow moisture is 18" and i dout that we have had 18" in two years.
ps ghd an old guy here told me once in mother nature cause you to be late with planting you will be all right because on very wet years in doesnt freeze till much later hope it holds off for you and you dont get a hurricane out your way.
what we need here is for a hurricane to come on land on the TX coast because when they hit there most of the time we get moisture from it, we get the best moisture in that case, because it will rain several days nice and slow and really soak in
