The odd thing is after the stretch of heat, this rain and temp has just a *touch* of September in it.

2" in Ames. Sump basin has water in it for just the third time since we bought our house 5 years ago. I'd say we are full now

yep only the 2nd time here since '21 and of course the ****** didn't kick on last night, woke up to a full pit.

Pretty sure it's 1993

a co worker today said we passed '93 levels of rain in July today.

Fall of '73 was worse than '93 where I grew up. Around 18" in 48 hours mid-September will do that. We had to wait for a hard freeze in December to finish up.

Fall of 72, went home on weekends to help dad harvest. Finished some in march after snow melted and groin froze

You are correct. It WAS ‘72, not’73. Horrible fall.

Sorry to hear about that frozen groin.

Is that the level after blue balls?

My HOA does not allow farm animals unless you were grandfathered in. Dogs already crap enough in the back, hate to think how much more a couple of goats would add to that amount.

Goats poop a lot. We have 3 and about to get #4. All they do is eat and poop.

 

[JP4CY]

Goats **** a lot. We have 3 and about to get #4. All they do is eat and ****.

I don't care if this is the F or S word, that's the life.

It's the S word.

1973 was a terrible crop year too. Wasn't that the first beans in the teens?

My friends dad had a sale barn, we were in stock tanks floating the aisles of the sale barn with boards for paddles in September. Cattle were running loose around the countryside. Farmers ended up loosing some or maybe gaing some depending on if their lots were on the bottoms or hillsides. I forgot all about that, I think Dad gained one if I recall correctly.

I remember gaining a pretty decent basketball. Nothing alive though.

2009 we had a similar scenario. Wet fall with an early snow. We finished our final 80 acres in March. Was pleasantly surprised in how well it made it through the winter.

2013 was similar, wet fall, finished up in December after a very cold snap that let us get back in on some down corn from Labor Day storm.

I dont want to see either of those scenarios ever again!!

Man, it feels great outside this morning. You can almost smell the football games that will soon be here

Groin is certainly a strange thing to autocorrect to, don't use the word a lot.
