The dry hilltops are starting to get comfortably dry.
The low spots we are starting to be able to drive on without sinking to the axle.
I'm still working on 1st cutting of grass hay in spots.
We are so sick of rain. We had .6 to 2 inches of rain last week, and it brought out flood watches again. Soil is so terribly saturated, just an 1.2 inch of rain puts puddles in the fields.
The Minnesota River in the 2 counties by me has been in a flood watch/warning for all but 2 weeks of this spring & summer. Very very high levels of water, ground is saturated.
Corn looks terirble, very uneven fields. Some is tasseling, some is waist high & sick, some is totally gone from drowning/ compaction from the wet soil. Drove from south central MN to the Dakota border this week, and it looks real bad all the way - normally dry & burned up grass od SD looks green & lush, their corn looks best I saw where it typically is burned short in pockets. Many bean fields as my cousin said, you can watch mice run through the fields yet.
We are so sick of rain.
The hilltops likely could use a 1/2 inch this week; but just hate to see it come yet again.....
