Yea, we were blessed with some rains, however small they were, that gave us planting moisture.  That is untill the last couple of northers got through with us!  Did get .4-.7" two days ago, should be able to finish milo this weekend on that.  But,,,,,, its dry a foot down all the way to China!  We will need some timely rains, soaking rains to make a crop in my neck of the woods.  Pastures aren't even thinking about growing.  I have a couple of acres of ryegrass planted to cover some bare ground and it has 1" cracks in it already.
