 I said the field might get a 2nd chance because it got 1.5 inches of rain, the morning of 8/4. As of this afternoon that moisture has all but disappeared, for what ever reason. There was a streach where 1.25 inches came down at about 1.88 inches per hour so maybe it didn't get time to infiltrate the soil. Another thing i observed when i was out there today there was quite a bit of light penetrating the canopy. which might be causing moisture loss due to evaporation.
