Man, I wonder if I did something wrong? I have watched thunderstorms go all around me everyday in the last couple of weeks and it is really getting discouraging. weatherman has been promising me rain for this weekend and here it is Fri. night and all we have gotten is a trace. 5 miles south of me has gotten a flood. Crops are in critical shape and if we don't get a rain this weekend of at least an inch, then we are going to start to see some major yield loss. No sizable rain here since 1st week of may. This is the worst drought I have ever seen and I had to plant corn. I have had good rains come so close that I could hear it falling. Any showers that we have been getting have come from the edges of storms and have been very light. Good enough to grow a good stalk but I need a root soaker now. This is ridiculous. on top of that, the price of corn falls 85 cent in one week because the eastern corn belt got rain. Now I have a borderline failing crop and cheap grain prices. Being a farmer, you always have to be optimistic or you'll go crazy. My optimism is running out in a hurry. They are still calling for rains through tomorrow. I am praying hard but they are also calling for N.E. winds. We hardly ever get descent rains on a N.E. wind here. Sorry for the rant. I'm just frustrated as he*& and need to vent. I am past the point of being too worried to even get the urge to fish. can't see myself going fishing when your watching your livelyhood dry up and wither away. Kind of makes you sick on your stomach. I hope by Sunday, I will be able to post better news. If ya'll have gotten some descent rains lately, I am glad. Hope we get a good one here soon. CF
