Rain dance my ass. I'm lucky I don't need a boat to get around in my plot. Farm logs has me 54.2% wetter than average. Dumped the rain gauge i have in my plot yesterday. Another .5" in it today when I went to spray.

My place is bone dry. I went to bed last night with a huge storm 30 miles away on course for a perfect bullseye. I guess it split in half and missed me by 5 miles on either side. I got a 1/10" and 5 miles either direction got 1".
Curse you rain dancers.

I can't speak for everyone in the area but if we get no rain in next 10 days the crops will suffer significant yield hits and we might not get a crop in some areas

We took our chickens in to be butchered at a place in Little Falls last night. Corn fields just down the road from them are totally drought stressed...leaves all curled up with some browning. That corn is in trouble. |

How long would it take for the farm to hit drought status if you don't get rain tonight and it hits the 90s for the next 10 days? Hard to say. A few factors at play. We have had a lot of rain, so I am guessing there is ample moisture quite a ways down right now. Is the forecast for hot and DRY conditions? I havent looked. I would guess if its hot and steamy, that would lend to things not getting as bad as quickly. We have pretty much zero black dirt or anything remotely close to dark soil. So it wont take long in general to see things stressing. Crossing my fingers we get that late July rain just to help things a bit. I am more concerned about my trees getting water than my plots. I am finally getting over the hump with the trees that are left, and really want to see them keep rolling nicely. |

I would give my left nut to have an extreme drought one of these years. The amount of work I could get done would be worth it alone. I would have my main trail built up, graveled and fixed for good. Even it a normal year running equipment back and forth you fuck up the first part you built before you got the entire road built.

I like the area. The people. The neighbors. The quiet and big woods feel but yet still have a good deer herd to hunt. Being able to draw a bear tag every 1-2 years with lots of bears around. And its paid for. If I go to better soil area south the price goes up. There will probably be more and worse neighbors. I have very few active neighbors around me. I have over 400 acres of paper land that is to my west that doesn't get touched except for rifle season.
If I go to a better soil area north the deer heard will be a lot worse.
Is it perfect? no. Is it perfect for me? I think so. Keep in mind I'm not that into working on habitat. Its all about the hunting for me.
If I can get that main trail built back there that will solve most of my problems with being able to get more shit done.
