We had a little more than a quarter inch of rain on Saturday and that slowed things down around here. People around here dipped their feet in …
We had a half inch of rain Sunday. Things are actually a little soft in the field after that. It greened up the pastures a bit, so I like that…

We got 1.4 inches of rain midweek last week and had some very light rain another time or two. We got some hay baled between the rains. Right n…
