Yeah, it would be nice if the rain were more evenly spread out. However, considering how long our state has been in a drought situation, I'm fine with the extra precip right now. I'll take every drop.

Really slammed the brakes on any planting and there will be a lot of replant. Farming taking a major hit on these rains. Need about a week to dry out and get rid of these large ponds.
Insane............epic...........historic. Mr. Hall must be all of 10 years old.
Plenty of radar returns with a hook like that with modern radar. Punch up El Reno, Oklahoma via 2013. Thing was almost 3 miles wide.
2024 is basically tornado alley being.........................tornado alley.
I would just plant in the water BC.
Because once the ponds dry out it has to mean we are in a historic drought.
Saw a few guys planting around here like April 12th-14th. Wonder how they are doing now.
Buying replant probably. Seen some 30 acre ponds. Field just NE of you had the dredge ditch back feeding tile Thursday when I went by, in takes were fountains. Needs to quit.
Got a couple large spots that I could put a boat in. Maybe we are in the rice region now.
Was just seeing a little gray in the fields yesterday afternoon, this morning way more ponding than the earlier 1.3 rain. Its going to be a while now
For eastern Iowa, we should’ve planted more. Like as much as possible. It’s at VE and looks pretty good
I’m sure it was named after some other Bob Lee. Cause no one in the South would be so brazen to name a city after a confederate general.
Gonna be a lot of nitrogen issues I’m guessing. A lot fields around here have floater tracks and not planted. Means they have chemical/32 down and sitting sitting in the rain.
Well ****. I tried to give Texas the benefit of the doubt, but there they are. Naming their towns after losers again.
I figured it would have been changed when all the other stuff was happening. He did help Texas when their freedom so it makes sense there.
Not with the very low subsoil moisture, it’s all soaking in from what I hear.
Still need a couple more months of this rain to get back to normal.
Started to see some ponding in fields and ditches late this week in Hardin, Franklin, and Worth. The rain has fallen beautifully for the most part, very little runoff.
To the west of them Winnebago is a complete mess. Hancock is one step behind them.
