We are dryer than normal here. Ditch along the property is dry, first time since we moved here 16 years ago.

All our ponds are dry for only the second time since I’ve been around. We have had 7” of rain since November the 4th. Started caking cows a month ago and pulled the calves off too. It’s been a rough one!

Cricks are lower than I ever remember. Finally got a 1/2 inch yesterday but all that did was wet the grass. Very little rain this summer. At one point went 8 weeks without a drizzle. Ponds and ditches are dry. Rats have either died or moved to the one main crick with water. Hopefully things change soon but I doubt it. No amount of rain forecasted in the future

Got 4.2" Sunday here in one Thunderstorm. Gave the yellow grass a green tint.

We get rain just about every day. All depends where the clouds roll. May get 2” half a mile down the road and nothing at the house. The next day I may get it and half a mile away, nothing. It keeps the grass green and has to be mowed every 3-4 days, but doesn’t sink in deep. The first 3-6” down is great, after that it’s cement. Generally it’s so hot it evaporates quickly. Ponds are low and most creeks are dry expect for some deeper holes. Nothing running. But this is about an every Summer event.
Come Winter, 1” of rain will last for weeks in a mud puddle, lol. The clay is still “hard” but it is manageable.

Creeks are nearly dry unless they are spring fed. The bog in some swamps has dropped several feet. I can’t remember seeing it this bad.

Very dry here, even for us. There used to be a river that runs through our town, it is dry. The reservoir that many farmers irrigate from is at record lows. The water doesn’t even reach the dam at this point. We really need 5 or 6 wet years in a row to get fully recovered

We had some rain over the weekend but it was to little to late.
Cornfields are yellow and the beans aren't much better.
I'm expecting a big snow amount this winter

Last year we had a drought and this year is looking like another one. Public boat landings are getting pretty low. Last year some dried up. Slight chance of rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Otherwise, nothing substantial for the next week.
