We have been in drought conditions since EARLY summer. We are also a red flag warning due to drought and high winds

Just think, it's nearly 100 years since the dust bowl days. Old timers laugh when we try to compare our weather to that time period. Temps and drought of that time have not been broken per say.

Not so dry here, this is what I had to deal with last week while chopping.

This is what I woke up to this morning.

Was just about dry enough to do some work, depending on how much of this we get today and tomorrow I may be able to work next week.

Son planting corn last year

We were drying out until Tuesday night. Now I'm sitting here wishing somebody else had the rain. I've got one crib to fill yet and the corn that's left is mostly on a slick side hill, so everything's parked.

I'm in south-central Minnesota, an area that has escaped the worst parts of the drought. But, boy! I dug up some canna tubers the other day and was shocked at how dry the soil is a few inches below the surface. I also struggled to dig a grave to dispose of a road-killed possum in front of my place. Terribly dry, hard soil. I worry about the impact on bushes and shrubs if we don't get some fall rain.

Looked that way two weeks ago when I planted my wheat. Have about a 60-70% stand. Doesn't look good.

We were pretty dry here in SE PA late June on, but the recent hurricane parked over top of us for 5 days and we got 3-4 inches of rain. Plus more yesterday. My 2nd cutting grass only made about 20 small bales per acre. The 4th alfalfa was down to 15 per acre. The neighbor just planted their wheat and that will be coming up soon.

Its dry in central NC we got close to 5" of rain off Ian but it was fast and ran off. October is normally our driest month and its panning out that way.
