Good news! Hopefully a little moisture will get things going for you. Good luck. :)

This rain is a welcome sight. Hopefully it won't flood, seems like we go from one extreme to the next in my neck of the woods.

Raining here in southern Ohio today, but it's the nice gentle rain we need! :D
The clover & winter wheat in the food plots can sure use it.

Wheat field got several inches on it Fri and yesterday. Got planted mid Sept. and not a drop on it since then. Was still bare dirt! Roads were a "BIT" muddy and slick though. :lol: :lol: Didn't hunt but was a nice day to sit on porch and watch it rain. :D

kd we have got a lot of rain, no wind to speak of. Last time I checked we have @ 100% chance all day of heavy rain today. What abut you, hopefully no wind or flood damage on your end. I saw on the news that over at Corsicanna, the flood water washed the tracks right out from under a train. Talk about a train wreck!

Drier than baked sand here in NW Ohio, all the ditch's and wet areas are dry, pushing me to the river bottom, but doing little good with all the corn standing elsewhere. But yesterday we did get a much needed 1/2" that came down quick,,, it's already gone. We should be seeing a lot of action here the next couple weeks!!
