Looks like y'all are about to have what we've had for a few days now with Tropical Storm Andrea treefarmer. I think our drought situation down here is over for now! Man it's been wet.
That should make things grow up there if it don't flood it out!
Yeah, we eliminated a severe drought in about a weeks time
drought to swamp in less than a week....
All we got here in LA was a cloudy day with a sprinkle or two, no measurable rainfall. Still thankful for what we got earlier in the week!

Clover/corn food plot Day 36
We've had 2 rains earlier this week that totaled 1.55 inches. The corn is beginning to grow, the grasses and weeds are sprouting, the clover, if it's there is well shaded by crab grass.
What a difference from one season to the next! When corn does well, it soon shades the ground and helps retard weed/grass germination, but in a field with a lot of skips there is a lot of area for weeds and grass to mature. Some of this stuff will be used by the deer so bottom line is we have a fertilized weed/grass/corn patch. Cultivated it again this morning, noticed deer sign in the edges of the patch.
The clover side is so well covered with crab grass that it will need to be mowed in a week or so if there is in fact enough clover plants that survived the dry period back in May, if not it will be to replant in September.
Pictures for this week show the corn being plowed with a Lilliston rolling cultivator and another patch less than 100 yards away that is doing perfect, no skips, ground already shaded, too tall to plow again. This is a totally different soil. Only time will tell how it will turn out.
