We got a nice .7" rain last night, and we may get some more.

Hot and dry. Got 1.5 inches pretty fast a few days ago. It came too fast.

Pastures are greening, but we sure need a followup rain.

A good Wabigoon friend has water in his basement, snow melt, and rain.

Nice here. Just getting dry enough for fieldwork. Supposed to rain all next week. Corn planters are rolling, and we're a lot later than normal in planting corn.

Pretty impressive thunderstorms went through here last night.

We were ready to plant corn yesterday morning, but the rain is better.

My neighbor rents my crop land, and he's been running day and night putting corn in the ground. Running two planters, a 16 row Kinze and an 8 row JD. They're planting corn here this morning. We're just now drying out, and rain is forecast for the upcoming week, so they need to get as much planted as possible. We're about 7-8 inches over normal for rainfall so far this year.

No rain or any moisture to speak of for quite a while now. Was warmer for a few days of 70+, now cooled back down to low 60's. Still have frost every night

We've been getting rains every week for the last month or longer. Finally dried out enough that I planted the garden last Thursday. Got an inch of rain on it last night.

There is plenty of time to plant corn.

Not planting anything yet but the lower elevations have the potatoes and onions in.

Up here on the plateau I’ll put mine in by the end of next week, need to till up some new ground first.

Richard, the optimal time for planting corn here is around April 15. I've planted it earlier, and planted it later, as a matter of fact much later, in June.

It won't quit raining long enough to get much field work done around here. Everytime it starts to dry out we get another big downpour rolls through that turns everything to slop again. We got one Saturday afternoon that dropped around an inch in half an hour.

Hardly any fields locally are even turned over yet, let alone planted.

As to time to plant corn, you do what you can.

From the looks of the forecasts we may not get much of anything done in the field till next week.

I need to get about 55 acres of corn in still.

Snowing this AM

Clear & calm today...

Snow came down to 7K' yesterday

Ain't never seen so many wind events in my 42 years in Utah

Wet , really wet . Has been for over a month

Looks like rain until the weekend. But we need the moisture and I think a burn ban is still in effect.

Won't be any farming done this week. But I don't think you will hear many complain, dry as it has been.

79* and sunny right now.

We had frost Saturday morning and 32* Friday morning. It's a pretty slow warm up this year.
