[QUOTE="pdfangus, post: 1283555, member: 6543"] I am about 40 miles north west of Richmond...50 or 60 miles east of Charlottesville and maybe 35 miles southwest of Fredericksburg. While other parts of the state have been washing away.....our area is getting some much needed relief from a late summer drought....the summer started off good until the week of the fourth of july...we had two inches of rain that week and then the faucet shut off.... scattered light showers since then with pretty hot and dry weather... Corn is yielding pretty good and corn guys are happy with yields and unhappy with the price...Double crop beans are not going to amount to much...pretty decent pods but the beans are only the size of BBs. Early full season beans are a mixed lot....some good, some fair and some poor..... There has been enough grass to keep the cattle alive without a lot of hay feeding but that was it....my later planted summer cover crops have been a bust while the early summer cover crops were very good....Cool season covers planted over the last thirty to forty days have done little other than feed birds... the rain this week has shown me that there are still osme seed out there and things are turning green now....While it has been raining almost steadily here for 36 hours now as of last evening there was only 1.7 inches in my gauge ......We had 2.7 inches early in the week ....last couple of days periods of heavy rain with steady light rain ....have not looked at the gauge yet this morning....but we are not having any runoff here...not even puddles....it might puddle during a downpour but then it goes right into the ground.... I am blessed because the mountains are getting torrential rain and trying to wash to the sea.....and the sea has heavy rain and high wind and is trying to get to the mountains...the wind pushing sea water up the tidal rivers is causing heavy flooding in those areas as well.... All of this without the hurricane which is now predicted to stay well off shore....but that could change too....the weather liars are not nearly as good at telling us what will happen as they are at telling us what just happened....two days ago they were inciting near full blown panic and now they are saying trust us everything will be fine....they all should run for political office....
