Weather Aware 5/27

[wawazat]

I enjoy the rain WAY more now that I don't live on the family farm anymore. However, I am not ready for monsoon weather cycles. One of our cattle leases is on a 100 year flood plane, and I have had to help gather and load cattle in the street 4 times in the past 10 years to get them out before the whole pasture was under at least 3' of water. One of those times we had a very stubborn bull that wouldn't leave high ground to get to the trailer so we had to paddle feed and fresh water out to him for a few days until the river dropped enough to drive him to the front.

That said, if my dad doesnt need help moving cattle and any of you guys within an hour or so drive of Piedmont need help moving cattle, I am happy to help out. It is a ton of work, but the banter and helping someone out in a pinch is worth it.

Long as it stays to the west and north.

I can finally see a mostly clear sky here, need about 4 more days of that and I might can get some mowing done and get some hay cut finally.

Gee thanks a lot lol

Best looking wheat crop and prices in several years, just need to make it through a few more weeks of no hail.

Looks like the wheat grew 10”s here this week lol I’m sure it wasn’t that much though

Boating out feed is where I draw the line. That sucker would have been hungry until it went down and then he’d have gone the way of the sale barn.

I am going metal roof on the next go around. I care less if it gets dented up.

The house I bought up there in 2019 had just got a new roof due to hail damage, but if/when it needs replacing, I would like to go with metal too (if I can afford it).

I don't mind some rain, but I need a few dry days so I can cut my jungle down.

My wife is actually out mowing the back right now . . . . since I'm technically supposed to be teleworking today.

Our squash and tomato plants have skyrocketed . . . I really hope hail doesn't destroy them. Might need to cover them with some of the large plastic feed bins I have in the garage.

Thing is the ground is so saturated it’s like a sponge. There’s no way any mowing or cutting can get done without turning everything into a giant mud hole.

My new yard has moss growing in the areas that sod is thin.

The ground in my yard is so wet some of the grass is starting to turn yellow
