Ok. most years I like a lot of rain. This year too. But this is fricken ridiculous. took me almost a month to pick wheat when there were only 8 picking days involved. I have not gotten the first soybean planted with the insurance deadline on July 15th. On the flip side, got the largest corn crop by far on the way barring a hurricane. Got some scary yields popping up on my yield calculator but I can't wrap my mind around those numbers and except them. It is above and beyond the normal bumper crop for this area. I guess I will just believe it when I see it. Just wish I could get the beans in.

We have had close to 10 inches in 3 weeks. Today could bump it to 12. the ground has reached complete saturation. it is unbelievable. I got to see how much water an excellent corn crop can pull from the ground this year. I have seen it rain 2 inches and be dry in 2 days in the corn while the old wheat fields stay wet but even the corn is not keeping up now. It is ending its high water usage stage now and we just keep getting rains.

Farmers are having a rough time this year with something that is usually a good thing for our area. There has not been a similar year to this one in about 30 years. Just excessively wet. South of me, the best Potato crop in years is rotting in the field. There are still hundreds of acres of wheat and sage to be picked. Wheat has began to sprout in the heads and is damaging. Both causing huge deductions at elevators. I have never seen anything like this. Usually begging for rain.
