[QUOTE="tug, post: 5440029, member: 4692"] I agree with discounting a forecast. We saw that 2 weeks ago. Which is why I, and others, are this position. A forecast 75% chance got whittled down to 0% in a ten day span. But I don't ignore forecasts either. If I loose 10% of my fertilizer, I can make that up later. My rye and oats will be covered 1 to 1.5 inches, mitigates bird loss. Clover barely covered if at all, don't know how much clover gets eaten. I can increase seed rate a little. Oct is the driest month. The next rain is forecast in late Oct. If that does not come, then I won't get planted till November, which is getting very late. I am thinking now on planting Sat, Sun. If I get lucky, then I can get a start and hope for another shower in couple of weeks. If I don't get lucky, then I will just reseed before the next rain, whenever that comes. I may change the plant selection, and I am out $300 and time for seeding only. I would make a horrible professional farmer. [/QUOTE]
