We sure don't want a big old hurricane!!! A couple of low velocity tropical storms would be nice, but as Gayle said, not the real solution. We'll just be glad when this weather cycle is over.

I hadn't thought as far as August. It could really be bad by then. A few nice wet fronts as Gayle said would be wonderful.

Every now and then, a darker cloud will pass over and drip maybe 5 drops per square foot, just to tease us.

If I can, I'll take some pics of some of the fields before they shread them so you can see what happened to the farmers. It's such a shame. Their crop insurance will reimburse them for most of their costs, i.e. seed, fertilizer, diesel, but not their lost profit that they live on.

Most of the farmers here also run cattle, so they not only didn't make a crop, they have to pay for hay to keep the cattle alive. Sooo sad.
