We are getting some rain. Many parts of the state are ahead of normal for the year. However, remember two things. First, we were ahead last year at this time too. The rain just stopped in late April-early May. Second, all the talking heads say that we are still a long, long way from replenishing subsoil moisture or generating sufficient run-off to refill the reservoirs.
It looks good so far, but theres plenty of time for things to wrong before or during nesting season. We need more rain and cool temperatures to delay the wheat harvest. But, we still want a great harvest for our producer friends.
