Just got home and there was 0.70" in the gauge from the weekend showers. 26.60" YTD

Interesting. I see Salina is negative, but all the milo I have seen in Saline County looks great. I have only seen one poor milo field and it was in Ellsworth County, but it wasn't a moisture issue as other fields in the area were perfect.

In my recent travels around the area counties, I continue to see the most beautiful milo fields I have ever seen and next to those fields are prepared fields ready for winter wheat to go in toward the end of September or early October.

Call it what you will, but it was all quite unusual motions out of an old man who backed into a really hot electric fence.

Checking pastures for a friend. Normally that draw is empty, but he had a couple inches in that last rain. Normally by now the pastures would be manila colored. In the foreground is "Snow on the Mountain". A lot of it in his pasture and lots of common milkweed.

Not much runoff considering how fast it came, but that is what grass will do, especially tall grass that I am blessed with at the moment. At the moment my CRP grass ranges from waist high to some approaching eight foot tall. My pasture grass, mainly short grass buffalo, with some tall grasses...
