Cornfield next to the house is about 5 feet tall. The old rhyme here is "knee high by the fourth of July." We are WAY ahead of that. We've been dry for a week and a half, could use some rain now.

Some rain should be heading your way several storms passing through the last week or so, some hail I hope you don’t get that.

It would be nice if some rain came this way.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Haven't seen one of those in darn near 2 years. It's either all or nothing.

We just got about .4 inches in a quick T storm. We really needed the moisture after 10 days of hot and dry weather. About 15 miles to the north of me severe T storm warnings for 60 mph winds, quarter sized hail and heavy rain.
The rain broke the week long upper 80s and low 90s for a few hours. We were dry on the surface and we still have many places in the fields with the low spots having standing water. Rivers are down about 1-2 foot from 3 weeks ago.

Sure could use some here. Corn is rolling up on the lighter soils. Also starting to tassel, so this hot dry weather is causing some stress on it.

Same here. Corn in clay and heavy loams is ok, but in the sandy fields with deeper water tables it's hurting

We have 1300 acres of pasture and I have been forced into feeding the cows. Need some rain badly here.

We really need it, been a couple weeks. Feels like I'm spending half my days watering. We're going to get it all at once when this hot spell breaks.

This is the time the crops need some rain the most The corn here is about to tassel. .But for the last week the leaves have been really rolling up as the days goes on .Finally overnight we had about an inch Many of the old timer farmers say an inch of rain a week during the hot days of July is ideal I would bet you will notice a difference in growth the next 24 hours
