Get in line cuzzin'!



That's a chunk of dry land corn for this country.


Hope it pans out.



We've filled in that damn hole 3-4 times in the last 5-10 years. Fricken deer trail that leaks out the ditch and makes a mudhole.....







Ricardo, it quit raining here 2 weeks ago. It's gonna go green to yellow real quick.

I've been watching the grain markets and they are saying it's weather driven now for corn. Is it dry over your way?

It was always going to be grazing corn.


That it grew at all is a blessing for us.


I am glad you guys are on the Mighty Mo.......the Piddly Milk up here is a pretty poor producer.



They are supposed to get another irrigation here soon though. Albeit a short one.

Cuzzin', I figured you had grazing in mind and that is good idea. Glad it sprouted, this weather will drive a guy nuts.....lol

The Missouri is a gem. When she goes low, we dig....





Thanks 'Shooter, hopefully I have a flood vid tomorrow.





Slum, I only name dropped you for more likes and views.....lol

We've had over 40 days of 100°+ temps.
My tomatoes will bloom, but they won't set fruit in this heat.
About a week ago, we got a temp break. The high didn't get over 95° for a couple of days.

Tuesday, I noticed one tomato plant had set ONE tomato! LOL!

I pray you all get rain, bad down here, but they were harvesting corn in central Texas a week ago. Maybe they got enough. The cotton doesn’t look too good.

You should see the corn growing along the Missouri, in Iowa! It's bigly. Good luck up there.

We have been very dry since the first of June. The NWS has our area in a moderate drought category. This week was forecast to have chances of rain everyday, and that has been the case. But, the rain is missing me. It has rained several inches, and in some cases much more all around me, but I've only had about a quarter of an inch. Yesterday afternoon a could of clouds came up, it started thundering, and I figured it was our time, but once again, the rain went north and east, and a good rain too. It's very frustrating to watch it rain everywhere but on you when it's needed as badly as we need it now.

Drought is an oppressive thing.

Pattern rains are not here. If you are lucky enough to get a spotty shower, it'll green up and then brown again in a few days. frown

Sitting listening to the rain beat on the house, it sounds great. First in 6 weeks, lots of 100+ days.

Corn is all twisted and brown here, beans are stunted and the cotton is bloomed but needs a drink as well. Luckier on the place up in Weakley County, had a couple of showers there.

Looks like Kentucky got drowned yesterday.

Depends on part of KY. Rain has been going around us for a month. Finally got a little over 2" over past 3 days. OTOH, saw last night that Hazard KY got 13"+ in one day... That is 3 months worth of rain in one shot. KY ANG doing rooftop rescues. Supposed to be calling in a couple Blackhawks from WV ANG to assist. Prayers for the folks in SE KY...

Always a ray of phoucking sunshine. And, of course, phoucking wrong.




Cool vid Sammer - thanks for sharing.
With all that barley, I figured we'd turn the corner and discover a field of hops. laugh

Spoken with a great degree of unconsciousness. wink

Way over half the farmland in the US isn't irrigated.

Beyond that, having irrigation does not shelter you from the elements. You are at their mercy, no matter what.
