    That rain we got last night was very much needed. My corn at home is knee high, the beans are up about 6″ and the clover is growing like weeds The ground was really drying out with the heat and wind. I could use another 1″ or so, but very happy to get what we did.

    I’m told we had over an inch at my place in the NW metro last night too. My yard sure needed it. Hard to believe only a few short days ago we had 7+ inches of rain.

    I only got just over an inch on the last storm in the east metro, so we needed it pretty bad…although I did plant some small bare root trees last Thursday and down a couple inches the ground still had some moisture. An inch or so every week would be perfect

    Drought for days but somehow the weeds are growing magnificently so I have to spray this weekend… Nothing but showers on the forecast throughout the weekend… Awesome

    I finished up spraying my last bean plot at home this morning, it can rain now
    Heading to the farm next Thursday to spray that 10 acres of plots. Hopefully the weather cooperates.

    Extremely dry in far SE MN but the 7 day rain models are showing 3+ inches on the way. I welcome that as long as it doesnt all come in the same hour.

    No rain since I planted still just a dirt plot. Wonder what the 85-100 day maturity plants will do
