[QUOTE="cowtrek, post: 289391, member: 2847"] we got about 6 inches last week and 4 inches last night. Glad to see it though after the dry conditions this summer. We've had pretty decent rain the past couple months so we're doing well in replenishing the soil moisture and all, now it's just standing, running off, and breeding a HORDE of mosquitos. Little buggers didn't have a chance all summer so they're making up for it now. Got some late haymaking some customers want done but there's 4 inches of water standing in the pastures and meadows this morning. We did a lot of baling back in late August and September so we're all right, and most customers are doing ok just want to take a little extra off before it goes dormant. Had some local guys, especially the cotton guys, get caught with their shorts down. They got their cotton picked (LUCKY!) before the 6 inches last week because if they hadn't it'd all have been on the ground by now. Some modules were sitting on the turnrows by the ditches and ended up as islands sitting in foot and a half deep water last week. I'm sure that TBWEF and TDA will be all over them about cutting their stalks but they won't get in there for at least 2 weeks now because of the standing water. One guy had some hay on the ground before the 6 inches and so that's totally gone. Another guy had rolled all his rounds out there but the whole field was at least 6-12 inches deep and so I wonder how well those bales are going to hold up after sitting in a foot of water for a couple days. I'm sure not going to gripe though. At least when it's wet you have some grass and the cows can just muck around to get it-- when you burn up you've got nothing. Good luck! OL JR :) [/QUOTE]
