Well.. still mostly waiting on moisture.. caught a nice down pour last night..about 0.50" in 30 minutes.. got my hopes up and killed the pivots.. then checked this morning.. and about 5 miles away.. zippo.. but more chances today.. Come on BABY.. bring it!

Moisture probe this morning.. could easily probe... hmmm.. about the top 2".. then needed a sledge hammer to go any deeper.. "okay.. SEVERE Moisture DEPLETION at THIS spot.."  checking over there.. 2.5".. 1.75" etc..  "dry."

We're up to 2.60" inches of precip for the year.. (not complaining) and the Wheaties are IN Critical peak water use.. we got a decent lime green look..not so much disease pressure.. (takes rain for that..)  but mid afternoon shows a pale dark blue cast.. each HOUR that we delay on rain is costing yield now boys.. Some patches have already hit the wall and turning yellow.. so.. nail biting time all the way to the finish line this year.

IF it would JUST RAIN.. we could save some bushels.. if we bust out on this one.. we're done on the 14 Wheaties.. If it would rain we could extend the fill period.. well last week's inch added about 4 to 5 days of.. "looking/feeling" pretty good..

"High hopes.. he's got.. high hopes..:"

Like it or not.. my $$$ is on the ram..  Come on baby.
