Sorry! This is in the Oklahoma Panhandle (the little strip of OK that used to be called No Man's Land).

We usually average about 18 inches of moisture a year. Often 2-3 inches of that comes in a 20 minute drenching. Dad is pushing 80 and said it's one of the best wheat years he's ever seen - WITH the price being good...
