It's not known to rain much here in early August. When it does rain it's usually brief thunderstorms that can drop much moisture quickly. The rain that came over the last day+ came gently, increasing its value becasue there was little runoff. My gauge at The Little House showed 1.7" and that was less than every other report that I heard.
Some corn and beans have been hurt by the dry conditions. But crops that have not been hurt will benefit greatly from this blessed rain. Pastures, hayfields, trees and other vegetation, not to mention farmers, are all smiling today. I haven't been to the pasture to check that gauge yet. The grass in it was turning brown and the cattle still need to graze for a couple of more months. The grass will quickly re-grow. Alfalfa, recently hayed, will now recovery nicely for another cutting.
THE GIFT OF RAIN!
Takk for alt,
