We had 2.5" in less than an hour last night and 4.25" total last night with gust of wind around 82 mph I have bottom fields that will be under water for probaly a week cause the river is so high the ditch won't drain. I believe that I will have to probaly replant one third of my corn.
And the best part one mile north rained on;y 2.1"
ITS TIME TO INVEST IN TILE BIG TIME.
Even our tiled ground is a washout. Tile helps if you get a couple two inch rains in a week, but when you get 6" inches every week for a few weeks you can't even see a difference. Not saying it doesn't pay, but it doesn't solve big time rains. |
