Looks like a corner was turned this weekend. I got my gentle rain Saturday in 3 half inch increments, total of 1.5 inches. A neighbor got the 3 inches this time, however much of my area only got a half to three quarters. Much of the area ended up under tornado warnings Saturday, but most of the damage was at least 75 miles from my farm. The week ahead is to be very hot, highs brushing 100 if not getting there, with the heat index(a formula using humidity and temp to tell you why you feel so miserable) running 105 or better. For those of you not fortunate enough to have ever experienced 100F with a humidity around 40%, I can assure you there is nothing comfortable about it, and you have to hope for a nice wind to give you any degree of comfort. What couples with this is it usually won't drop below 70 or 75 at night, and the humidity runs up to 50%.
But, the hot weather should dry out our wheat, harvest has been dragging, I would hope to be in full swing by the end of the week, time will tell.
