we are in a very small area of very very dry. the ground has been cracked for some time. pastures dry, some crops only half
came up, one fellow planted millet first part of june, and still nothing has come up.
but a few miles away, things are green, don't look the best but are green. some stuff does look fairly good tho, some huge big bushy
plants, but some of the leaf's are cupped at times, and there are brown plants in a few spots. notice the milo is starting to head
in the low spots where there is moisture. alfalfa is brown. corn variable. saw a pretty good sized field that was chopped already,
tell tale sign of a few rows left so often, shows the insurance man was there.
temps are cool........no 100 degree temps yet....but aug can be a hot and dry month.
I've said for a long time, this area was never ment to raise corn tho.....from the climate never did think it would do well. it is hit
or miss around here, in my opinion. average is about 120 dryland i'm told, t1 is 65 bu......
if no rain this week, i'm calling insurance agent and turning everything in.......in our small area, it's bad, but as I said a little
ways away, it's at least green still.
