After missing all of the big rains that surrounding areas had gotten the past few weeks, we finally took our turn yesterday. Most of our area received between 2.5"-4" of rain in about 1 hour yesterday morning. Needless to say that there is now water everywhere. All of our ponds are full of water and the corn that was in them is now flat from the water and wind. The drainage ditches, creeks, and streams are out of the banks, and any planting or spraying that was left to do is going to be on hold for at least a week. After having this happen the last two years also, it is kind of frustrating to see it again, especially after we had really good looking crops. Lets hope that mother nature can cooperate with us the rest of the year.
