Last night we had a nice 1.2" rain. Last week we also had 1.2". Some have had more and some less. Somewhere around Manhattan, KS area supposedly got 7"+ last evening. (Don't need that). What we have had really looks good.

We had good fall rains last year, but nothing over the winter or spring. Things were looking bleak. Pastures weren't growing, wheat looks thin and short around here. Very nice to see the moisture. The pastures are really starting to grow. Things are sure starting to look right again.

As some may remember my Brother and I have quit farming. This will be the first year without our own crops. I seem to be worrying just as much as when we did. Maybe I just want the renter to make sure he has a good crop...lol! I do have hay and pasture still, so this will sure do it some good. It is a blessing - Bob
 

Bob, we got 2.5 yesterday/last night. First time water has ran for about 6 months. Couple of ponds have filled. Southern Ellsworth County. Things are looking up here also!!
 
The rains came at just the right time here in the McPherson-Hillsboro-Hesston area where I live. Up until about three weeks ago the wheat was really starting to get stressed out but we got two inches over one week and now it looks pretty good and is heading out nicely. The sprinkles are just starting here this evening and it looks like we're in for several days of good chances for measurable rain.
