I planted 3 acres today in a steady drizzle. 73 per cent tomorrow. We will see after that.
thanks! 6am flight tomorrow morning. Will update y'all in a separate thread when I returnQuit worrying about plots, as there's plenty of us here doing that . Concentrate on killing a big bull & enjoy the trip!
That's crazy. We've had less than 2 inches since the beginning of August. From early June to late July we had around 0.25".I'm almost 15" of rain in last 2 months.
I agree! Never seen this much rain during the summer since I bought my first house in 2003. I remember it was raining so much that summer, I was having to push mow my almost 1 acre yard twice a week. Got so worn out, that I sold some guns to go buy a $1k Craftsman riding mower...lolThat's crazy. We've had less than 2 inches since the beginning of August. From early June to late July we had around 0.25".
Yup. Climate models suggest an "endless summer" of hot, dry conditions through at least mid-November.Long term is calling for it to become dry through early Nov.
Tell me about it. I use three pieces of equipment: tractor with bushhog and switch to tiller after mowing, UTV with broadcast seeder attached, and ATV switching between sprayer and chain harrow for covering seed. Even doing just that by myself kills me.With only 1 tractor it will mean this old fart will have to change equipment out many times and this just kills my back and hips!!
I suspect my "plan" is going to be replanting all my plots later in the fall. But that means buying another 1,000 pounds of seed. I doubt I would retill. I will probably just broadcast seed onto the ground and go over it with the chain-harrow (teeth down) to try and scratch some dirt over the seed.With no rain in the forecast I'm having a hard time making a plan.
