Yet another storm that somehow split and completely avoided the West side of Ames, and they reconverged right after. Someone should really do a case study on why West Ames somehow consistently less rain than the rest of the city.
Yup that exact thing has been happening to me for the last 3-4 years.

After Thursday back to the mid-80's for most of the next week. To me these days it just feels like weather wise everything is just pushed back a month compared to 10-20+ years ago.

If you rank all the Septembers on record in the DSM area, 7 of the top 10 warmest are in the 2010s or 2020s.

Kinda is. Seems like every fall is warm and dry anymore. Spring has kinda had everything though lately. Had some warm starts and also cold starts
 
A friend of mine who is a Cyclone fan told he was combining beans today. I asked if they were doing 70 bu/acre? He said they got to get to 50 bu/acre first. He said whoever said rain makes grain, “ is full of sh$t.”

Meh, there is also the saying beans don't like wet feet. This last rain along with some wind have some of mine leaning pretty hard. Went out yesterday and split a few pods open, they need few more days still to be ready to go.

Rain at the right time makes grain. Beans need August rain which we had virtually zero of this year. Lots of aborted beans in pods which indicate the plants had adequate moisture at pod set but ran out during fill.

Looks like next Tuesday it finally starts to cool off some. About time.

Looks like some rain chances too - which I won't object to. Tired of running my sprinklers again. Got spoiled earlier in the summer.
