Sugar cane is the main crop here. It can be harvested even when it rains, but it is hard on equipment, fields, and headlands. They did need some rain for the plant cane.
wabi, some people here abouts are complaining we have too much.
about an equal amount are complaining we don't have enough.
most folks in the middle just scratch their head and wonder what?
Around here, it is always either one or the other. I have always sworn that if I ever hit the lottery (even if I never buy a ticket), I will erect statues at each of the three entrances to town. They will be modeled after a particular individual here in town who fits the role perfectly. They will have a button to push that will play a recording (not unlike the old Happy Chef statues) that will alternate between "We sure could use some rain" and "We sure don't need any more rain."

Beautiful weather today and, it appears, for the week, finally... Wrenched on my car with my visiting son. More tomorrow then a range day on Wednesday. Dear wife is golfing her tail off.
Raining steady all week and mid 50’s. It’s definitely fall in the PNW. I noticed that last week before this system set upon us the local hay farmers got in one last cut and bail in. I think, at least locally speaking, the hay farmers had a good year as there’s round bales everywhere including in the bed of half the trucks I get behind, the other half are carrying logs 😁
Our summer was temperate compared to the last 10 years or so. I don’t think that I can recall seeing our local hay fields irrigated once this year. We had a much wetter and greener summer than anytime in recent memories. I was afraid we’d get a long dry Indian summer which would likely mean that all that “fuel” that grew big would result in a lot of forest fires but thankfully our forest fires weren’t nearly as bad as they’ve been in the past.

A short half inch of rain overnight, and this morning. It looks like Wednesday at the soonest before the combine can run again.
How's your weather?
We have had 1 1/2 " of rain just north of Des Moines in the last 5 days. It's only running off or standing in the low places. Nothing is soaking in anymore.

.03 in. today, winds dried things out though. Wanted to bow hunt but too windy Showers predicted next two days do some bow hunting, maybe back in the combine Thursday.
Winter is setting in here with cold and snow. Trees have turned and grass is brown. Most plants are done for. Too cold at night. More snow for Wednesday this week.
All the corn has been harvested here. Beans still had green leaves until the frost, now they are falling off, but I haven't seen any harvested yet. They were late planting beans this year. We got 1.7 to 2.4 inches here last night depending on what wave hit you. Lots of wind. Got pretty chilled today with the wind. Might have to be a pansy and break out some good flannel or a jacket this week.
I like that cane harvester video. 1st for me. Also found out what the green bean harvesters look like this week.
