    Mother nature is kicking my butt. I was one day away from getting my clover planted about a month ago. That's when the rains began and have not quite since. Normally I have my soybeans in by now, but I haven't even broke the ground for them yet either. I have some volunteer soybeans coming up from last year, they may have to do this year. We have rain in the forecast a couple more times this week too.

    Ha, yeah I hear ya bud, I was on schedule earlier this year for my crops and everything, than I have ever been. I would have been done planting about 500 acres of beans a week ago, instead I only have 90 acres of them planted and will have to replant some of those that drowned out.
    My corn looks dismal, I wish I had planted everything in wheat last fall...my wheat looks decent. I at least got about half the food plots planted by frost seeding and what I planted late last fall. I don't know how much rain we've had here but I imagine we've easily had half our normal annual total already.

    I think we have had about 10 inches in the last month.

    We are right the opposite, it's been 40 days since we've had any rain. Killing my mowing business.

    I wish we could split the difference.

    Same here.

    We planted buckwheat ahead of what was supposed to a few days of rain, and all we got was humidity. Finally, a week later we received some showers only to be followed by a late May cold front last week. It's still going, but definitely stunted. I'm glad I didn't decide to attempt anymore warm season plantings.

    We've had that in the last week...We get it in spurts of 3-5" at a time, it's crazy.
