We were incredibly dry here, with our last big rain with any runoff coming in March. Just some .5� rains here and there. Looks as though the guy farming our place will get some yield with his soybeans. At least enough yield to harvest. We started getting rain a few weeks ago. Then got two 2�+ rains in the last week, and more in the forecast.
We just got to the farm last night from camping out in the Black Hills for a week. Headed down to the pond shortly to see how it looks.
The grass around the house up here is way tall. So, all in all I�d say our drought is over. We are still behind for the year, but it�s looking better.
Lots of farmers west of us just mowed their corn.. Too dry.
Sure hope you guys get more rain. I know when our pond was down 5� it was getting pretty upsetting. Ready to sell the place. (In my darker moments.)

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (decreasing), SMB, and HSB (only two have been seen in 5 yrs)
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.
