I planted 10 acres of wheat two weeks ago (Ranger Wheat from Arkansas). I lightly disked the ground and broadcast about 80 lb/Acre then drug a railroad track over it to smooth it. Got a 1" rain the next day.
Last night got a 1/2.
Today the wheat is 1 1/2" tall..........

Things are looking better here in north Texas. I cut a 10 acre coastal field today. Most of the grass was knee high and falling over. I also cut 6 acres for my neighbor. She has a few grass burs but hers is looking good too. We had both fertilized back in June and the fertilizer has just been waiting for a reason....

If I can get my 17 acre meadow baled next week I should have enough to make it through the winter without buying expensive hay or having to destock my herd.

Thank you lord........ :D
 
We planted some new hay/barley a couple of weeks ago into about a 12" deep dust bowl and every body told me that I was nuts but, now it's about 6" or so tall and no one else can even get on their fields because it's too wet.
