***OFFICIAL 2026 WEATHER THREAD***

Had a nice rain earlier this morning. Slept in and missed the whole rain. Have not gone out to check the rain gauge yet, but looks like .5-1.0” , much needed. We keep getting just enough rain to get by. Now 90 degree this week will be stressful.
Checked my rain gauge, 2.5” that doubles my rain total since April 15th.

This was the first week it hasn't rained since April 1, 25" total in 11 weeks. Corn is OK but yellow short areas in every field and too wet to get in to side dress. Bean stands are fine except on terraces but they are short in height. Hay making is challenging but good production on grass hay not so much with alfalfa...too wet. Pasture growth is phenominal. With current grain prices, it will be a stretch to break even. Such is farming. We are SW of Creston, 15 miles from the Mo. line.
