The garden. (Heavy pics)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO YOU DO NOT HOPE WE WILL GET RAIN MONDAY!!!!! We have about 300 acres in wheat that has turned golden. Nice big full heads getting very near to harvest time. We want to get the combine in a dry field, not a mud quagmire. You can have your rain after the 4th of July, or after we get the wheat harvested, which ever comes first!!!!! Until then Bite Your Tongue.

I see your point, but I have a LOT of potatoes that are getting very dry, and it is a pain in the neck watering.
The wheat is getting close to ready around here, but today I was over at Newton, and the wheat looks much drier over there.
Right now everyone is mowing hay around here, so I am sure they don't want rain either. All I really want is around 0.5" would be good for right now.
Do you just have the 300 of wheat, or do you have more ground than that?

Okay... I see what the food is going to eat, but where's the FOOD?????

I am vegan, so what you see is what you get! However, if you like rabbit we have shot well over twenty in the past two weeks. You should butcher wild rabbit is the summer, but they're all yours if you want to live on the edge!

A full section of tillable land and a half section of pasture. The rest of the tillable is in soybeans and sorghum.

If you don't get rain until after July 4th, your beans will be looking pretty sorry. I talk friend today that farms today, and he is hoping for at least an inch of rain. He said his wheat will be fine and his beans and corn really need it.

I'm not too worried about it. We have never had a harvest in as late as the 4th of July. Usually by the end of June at the very latest. A few showers here and there are fine, but not the kind of rain we have had lately. We had 9 1/2 inches two weeks ago with about 2 more last week. Ground still has plenty of moisture in it deep down. We should be cutting by the end of next week or the first part of the following week.

We didn't get that much at all. When you got 9.5" we only got around 3" at the most, and didn't get any rain last week. So we are much drier. With that much rain I see why you don't want any more for a while.

Were are moisture rich at the house and at the farm. Probably should have mentioned the farm is in north central/western Kansas up on the edge of the high plains. We had the rain I mentioned in Wichita. About the same, possibly a bit more at the farm. That is why I am not worried about moisture for us. We need those fields to dry enough to get through harvest.

That is great by me! And most of the farmers around here are just getting their beans in, so it will be good for that as well.

Really? Ours get planted in mid May. Our tenants all use no till techniques which helps conserve moisture but lets the ground get up to that 55 degree minimum. They are also using treated seeds.

A lot of the beans are in, but the rain delayed a lot of them also. Nearly everyone around here also uses no-till.
