They had been dry through most of June but have had several big rains lately...
I had a chance to listen to folks from all over the state and the concensus is that the southside of the state from about Danville to Emporia has been lacking in Moisture....but every time I turn on the teevee the weather guys are talking about rain in the southeast part of the state from Emporia to Va Beach...and from New Kent to the Potomac....
all the rain yesterday was either south or east of us....Was beautiful in Raphine and we had an excellent forage tour of a progressive forage grower and beef operation....he was grazing some of our summer multispecies cover crops....among other things....

WE were dry in June but things look real good now. Have had over 4.5 " in the last couple weeks with more coming tonight. Corn here is about the best I have ever seen it.fitz":12d4wlaq said:From the maps the weatherman was showing it looks like Kenny Thomas' area is the hardest hit for abnormally dry conditions.

we had a little drizelly rain this morning when I left home but nothing significant....
