We finally have a good chance of Rain tonight!! 80% last time I looked. It’s been 162 days since we last saw a raindrop fall. I hope they don’t miss this forecast:( if it does rain I plan on standing in it and getting soaked, but I’m not getting my hopes up to high. It’s all in the Lords hands and I know HE knows what he’s doing. Praying

Yeah. Dry here. I cannot imagine God controlling the rain. So will pass on the prayers. But rain will sure be welcome when it comes.
none

Tac20 another thing to remember is that KS, OK, and TX have higher evaporation rates (on average) than us up here. So what 25-30 inches of precip in se SD or nw IA can do for crop production isn't what it can do down there.
You Kansan guys I hope you get your rain. Low commodity prices with normal production is tough enough. Low commodity prices and below normal production is a double whammy unless a drought is expansive enough (area wise) to actually affect the markets.

Grandpa always said “it doesn’t have to rain “, and all the old timers around here always joke that in the time of Noah and the great flood we only got a 1/2 inch out of the whole darn thing.

Praise the lord. 1.25 of rain and now it’s snowing!!!!!!!!! It’s beautiful boys thanks for the thoughts, prayers and concern. It’s been a long wait and a bit stressful to say the least.

Don't you fellas in Kansas get any Snow fall in the winter to provide some moisture to the water table?

Don't you fellas in Kansas get any Snow fall in the winter to provide some moisture to the water table? Depends on the year, but normally not that much snow, at least in the west. Our water table in the far west is over a hundred feet down. It's fossil water, so our precipitation doesn't do much for it.

Don't you fellas in Kansas get any Snow fall in the winter to provide some moisture to the water table? What swifty said was true for the guys 30 miles west. We are blessed where i live. Water level is 20'-50' here. I have seen it at 19' in the wet years, and 65' in the dry years. Not bad for 19" of rain a year. We live and die by the water table for our livestock and irrigation, so every drop of rain counts for us. Out west the maximum recharge is 1"/yaer. we can go up or down 10'. we had 0" of snow this year, but I've seen 86" of snow in one winter.
