We have gotten 4 or 5 very small rains down here near Houston...picked up a total of 1.5 inches over the last four weeks....they are calling for 1-3 inches today and that will be very welcome rainfall if it actually makes it down to us....North of town has picked up 4 or 5 inches with the last few cold fronts, but it always seems to stall out right at I-10...being south of I-10 we have gotten very little....We have 135 acres of rye grass that has barely grown the last 3 weeks and 160 acres of Ducks Unlimited Ponds primed and ready for a great hatch this year and no water. Could not even buy it this year if you wanted it. If we get a rain I will have grass! Cant wait for the storms! I could use a full 10 inches and not complain one bit.

We've been bless with 8 inches scattered throughout October and another 8/10 of an inch on November 8th. The pastures that we overseeded with ryegrass are incredibly green and lush. On some high ground that's stayed above freezing, there's still some green grass, mostly common bermuda. We stopped feeding hay almost 3 weeks ago ; we started haying in August. My hopes and prayers are that we can hold off on haying again until some time close to the first of the year. I know we aren't out of the woods yet but I'm incredibly thankful for what we've received so far. It's the "greenest" things have been all year.

Several weeks back I got just under 9 inches at the farm and about 7 at the house 20 miles away. I am no longer having to haul water to the cows.
This was kind of one of those, "When it rains it pours" scenarios. The pastures needed a drink but they need it on a regular basis. This drought will take a while to recover from as far as pastures go.
Not having to haul water to the cows day in and day out has been a blessing.

Picked up about an inch the last hour and a half....looks like maybe another hour of hit and miss then it's twiddle your thumbs till the next time it decides to rain....
This should revive the oats that hasn't already died......bring up whatever oats and ryegrass that never germinated....and keep me from hauling off another load of cows tomorrow.

Just under 2 inches overnight. That should help with the oats and rye.
