I tried to bale some hay tonight, but got rained out. At least I got about half of it. The forecast is calling for rain for the next four or five days, dang, that would have been some nice hay.
I have got 3" over the last week, the difference is staggering.I only mowed my lawn 2 times this year...once in March and then in April. Finally got 1" rain at the house and 1/2" at the ranchland a few days ago....seems about right, cattle left out again. At 98 degrees with sun the next morning most of it evaporated. Hay is gone from my area, corn hay sometimes, buying milo now....cattle still grazing the dry matter and greener weeds...and leafs from the trees. Getting the livestock trailer ready...for a few. Still wishing for rain.
What's funny was 1/2 mile from my ranchland they got a full 2" rain....it was pockets of rain.
Loosing any trees yet? Post Oak are dyeing again here.New video by Call me Fence

Forget the damn hay...be happy for the rain. You're talking NutzI tried to bale some hay tonight, but got rained out. At least I got about half of it. The forecast is calling for rain for the next four or five days, dang, that would have been some nice hay.
Unfortunately it was just enough to stop me; we didn't get hardly anything in the rain gage. Raked it on to some dry ground late yesterday morning, and baled it that afternoon. The forecast was a 40% chance late that afternoon, and evening. Ended up getting nothing. Maybe I should have left the hay on the ground. They are calling for a 50% chance tonight, and a 60% chance for tomorrow.Forget the damn hay...be happy for the rain. You're talking Nutz

Your at McGregor right. ?So far we haven't had a drop, even with the scattered stuff. Hoping we get some.
Still to early to be putting winter grass down here. I put a ton of Milo in some failed Sudan over the weekend. Should be enough moisture to get it up and if it stays wet enough time to get a stand before frost. Felt like gambling. There's side benefits to planting august Milo as well..I took off from my day job Friday and managed to sew a ton of ryegrass on a nice sunny day. We've gotten a bit over 3 inches of rain since. Happy days! (if it don't wash away)
Yep. "Supposed to" get 2". We'll seeYour at McGregor right. ?
Got a crew supposed to go to moody today and build some pipe braces. I'm thinking probably should keep them close to the shop today.
