I just took a look at the weather radar and it looks like Montana has a tropical storm sitting over it. Perfect symmetry and counter clockwise rotation. ![[Linked Image]](https://s15.postimg.cc/ooq1s7uzf/IMG_20180619_073733310.jpg)

I hope that combine has a GOOD AC! It better. That's the neighbor who works my cropland. He has 2 combines, the JD and a new IH. The IH is sitting across the field, broke down, and the older JD is still running. They notilled the field in soybeans just as soon as the wheat came off. Not sure what it yielded, as the yield here is off a bit due to the wet spring. The top yields this year are running 75-80 bushels.

That nice, James! I spent some time on a JD combine... But it was an old fixer header. Took a licking and kept on ticking.  When I was raising crops, I had MF combines, first a 300, then a 510. I learned real quick that when you're working on a combine, you better learn how to cuss, and own a cutting torch, because you're going to need both.

Back in Rapid City for Father’s Day weekend and since Saturday there’s been between 2.5 and 4” of rain around the area.
They’re calling for another 1-3” tonight and tomorrow and possible flooding:

We got another tenth of rain.
The big rain a few days ago yielded a tenth as well.
So the running tally is 6 tenths for May and 8.5 tenths for June.
If we had not gotten that thunderstorm we would be screwed! That was 6.5 tenths.
We are beginning to get a bit worried!

We are beginning to get a bit worried! It’s been one of the wettest springs I remember in NW. Just about perfect for dry land crops. It’s hard to believe it’s all missing you.

If we would not have gotten that 6 tenths a while ago..........well, it could be much worse.
