Last week of may, they had 4' of flood water running over the top of them. Been a strange year, after a really warm but wet winter. Drilled a post hole today to 3' then dug it by hand to 4'--should have seen some seepage at that depth but was bone dry top to bottom. ??
No rain since the first week in June. Pools still have water. Grass is all gone have started haying. Did not make enough hay to go very far, still have some hay left over from last year. The woman at the ASC office tried to get me to buy drought insurance when it was raining like crazy, I declined might should have reconsidered..
