in 35 months less than 17.5 inches-------- and 5.5 inches of that came in a 40 minute hail storm if you were in the lucky spot. Several of our fields have not seen 6 inches in one year for 3 years.
last 24 months would exclude that hail--------- less than 11 inches
2013 so far less than 2 inches total we are currently 7.9 inches below normal for the current year. Average prior to this drought is 18-19 inches per year
Nothing in the 1930's is even close to this...... It is a testimony for no til, gmo, CRP, irrigation and residue management that we are not sending rolling dirt storms across the corn belt with a vengence. We certainly have the wind for it.
