44 Days

[flaboy]

44 Days and counting with no rain. This season is starting just like last season for me. :frowns:

Same here. I had high hopes for rain but it just fizzles out before it gets to us. This is looking a lot like last year but at least this year there is more hay for backup.

Sorry to hear that. We have had an abundance of rain so far. I plan to start cuttiing hay tomorrow if dry enough. They are calling for no rain for the week or so. Hope yall get some rain soon.

Likewise, except I'm waiting till sunday. Rained an inch yesterday but no rain is called for till next thursday. Longest drought we've had this year. The old record for no rain this year was 3 days in a row.

We had .93 inches last weekend, but it's gone... Still dry as ever. But, like Jo - our hay situation is good this year.

 

[Jogeephus]

Looks like we got a good chance today if the low doesn't push through too fast. I hope it stalls out on us and we get 2 inches in the form of a gentle sprinkle and folks can get back to planting. If we don't get this, its going to be just like last year with the exception of the fertilizer prices. This coupled with the drought is going to make this a painful year for many.

I'll check the fields good and may wait until Sunday also. It's going to be a good cutting I think, mostly mixed grass but it'll give the bermuda a chance to grow when I get this off of it.

Until this week, we had not gone more than 6 days without some form of precipitation since the week of Thanksgiving. Haven't had a rain since last Friday. Our alfalfa is about 10 days away, and the brome and other cool season grasses are a good 2 weeks, probably 2 1/2. Late spring this year.

Wishes do come true! Front moved in on us slowly and at lunch I had 1.5" , 0.75" and .25" inches in another. Slow to heavy drizzle continued for the rest of the afternoon. Flaboy, I hope you are getting some of this cause I know we all need it and some more.

Not yet but close :banana:

here in central mississippi we have gotten a nice bit of rain....i think it was 2.25 inches over the last 2 days..

 

[Crackerplease]

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH! 2.75 inches today! Hope you got some too.

 

[john250]

I wish I could send some. I should have cut hay two weeks ago, but it rains every other day. Sometimes every day.

 

[LaneFarms]

We got 3 drops. boy it is dry at this rate it will be the first of July before we cut any hay.

 

[Jogeephus]

Man that's a shame. I don't know what we would have done had we not gotten this rain. That high in the Atlantic needs to get on out of here and let the normal pattern come back.

 

[Central Fl Cracker]

We got zippo nada none

 

[Wewild]

We would be right on top of he red dot to the NW if we weren't just SW of it.

It is a bad situation for folks that depend on water to fall from the skies to be in.

Good link.

Got another .91 inches yesterday. That will sure help the grass for a few days.

It will be dry again by Monday....

Sounds like you are on that beach sand like me. Heck, I sometimes find sand dollars and sea shells in the fields. Especially if we wash out a well or something.
