It was raining when i got up this morning and pretty much rained all day. Not what we usually get in mid July in Oklahoma. It looks like Ireland here this summer.

Can I order up another one of these?

Same here Posty! Another 2 inches last night.

I've NEVER seen it rain this much in my life. For the past 7 weeks we have had rain almost every day. We have tons of hay that needs mowing but cannot get in the field to cut it and dry it. Also there is winter wheat in the fields that are sprouting from the head. The fields are flooded and just big bogs. If it would dry enough to harvest wheat and sell for scrap and feed the farmers are going to have to spray round up first to kill all the grass and weeds that have grown up in the wheat fields.
This is very unusual here

We're getting hammered as I type this. It's been a VERY wet summer so far.

A strange year for weather. We were right on the edge of another drought summer when this rain hit. And it was mainly in eastern Oklahoma although western oklahoma got soaked last week. I know around here, it was looking like only one cutting again this year and without grass they'd be feeding in September again the rate it was going. This will go a long way in helping those situations.
