Anyone else think the rains have ceased ?

Wishing the rain would cease. Dumping down right now. From drought straight to a flood. Rather lose the crop due to a drought than a flood because there is far less mess. I have had both. Crop had mostly recovered from the last round of flooding not too bad so I was contemplating fungicides for the better areas of the wheat yesterday but that is cancelled now as the sprayer will get stuck going from high spot to high spot now. The main problem is run off. Searching old weather records to see if there ever was years in the past where they had ridiculous rainfall amounts as wondering about long term viability. Lots of weather stations have data for a few years and then they were closed or moved. Only one previous year was as wet as we have been since 2016. (The exception to the wet years was last year of course) and that was 1956. Looked as far back as the 20's where data was available.

Forecast here will move the crop along quickly if it is accurate.

Not what you want at flowering.

We've had 1 inch spread over 4 showers since may 19th. Crops are hanging on but the rains just aren't coming.

Looks like nothing but warm and dry in the forecast which is needed to move the crop along but crops mudded in to clay land will struggle to find the water it needs with all the compaction.
On dry years the low spots really help bring up the average yield of our fields but this year the low spots are droned out and bare.

They haven’t ceased for long here just enough to finally mud through the last of spraying and haul some grain now back falling down again this morning. Over 11 inches since May here, more just a few miles away depending on how much the thunderstorms dumped.

Punishing rain right now, over a inch in the last half hour. Not sure I want to see my wheat after this.

Are you south of Tisdale?

Finally caught a lucky thunderstorm last night for 7/10. That brings us to 4.5 inches since snowmelt. How crazy the extremes can be this year.
