Got close to a diseaster at Dodge City....

Clayton you ok?

Yes, "here" is like Moses parting the Red Sea.  Last night storms went west, and tonght slid east of us..  So we were able to finish planting milo this evening.  Looks like an increase in dryland milo plantings   "here".  Not just me, others that havent typically grew milo are planting this year  

[sw363535]

Very true on the milo,

Not going to be historically high number of acres, but it is going to be in a size and volume of production we have not seen in years.  Funny we got used to living on the irrigation in the last 5 years and now we are going to complain about the best production we could ever have and ignore the blessing of less water pumped... go figure.

Good to see it,,,,,, I was beginning to think my childhood in the 60's was a weather illusion...

In NC and VA, we have fallen a full month  behind on haying, due to so much rain.  We have a tropical system forecast for early next week.  This all follows one of our wettest winters in memory ,too.  

Would rather have this than a dought.

Violent storms missed us and we have been fortunate enough to dodge damaging hail up to this point.

Only a few have any milo in the ground around here as of Memorial weekend but that isn't uncommon, many don't get geared up until the first week of June. I got my forage sorghum drilled about 2-1/2 weeks ago but haven't been able to do a drive by for about 10 days due to  nearly continuous rain.  Not complaining, just want to keep the township boys off my back by not tearing up the roads, I guess that's what they made ATV's and UTV's for.

Ten days ago, we were 4 inches behind our ren year average. Today, we are five inches ahead. And it is raining again.  Tornados missed us by 20 miles, north of us. About twenty farmsteads and rural homes were damaged. Some completely wiped off the map. 

[sw363535]

I wondered if that was getting close to you smokeyjay.  

The tornados in western ks last week were some of the biggest I have seen this far west..

Thanks for the report 

[ncwinn54]

Mike heard the Richmond (VA) weatherman say this weekend, that if we got another 1 inch of rain by Tuesday night, this would be the wettest May ever recorded.  Had 1.2 inches south of there last night in Dinwiddie, and it is raining again...so?

Tough for making a hay crop. Good luck!

There is a lot of wet ground in big areas in the midwest and east..
