We finally got a good shower last night to. I hear Lima almost got flooded out at the fairgrounds flea market.

Yes. 2 inches in under an hour. Vendors next to me were in a low spot. Had a foot of water flowing across the fairgrounds road into their spot and over the ditch along the county road. When that road floods, there is a bunch of rain. Never heard of it flooding before but apparently it does.

My nephew showed us pictures of the vendor next to them chasing down gas cans floating past and couple drunks setting in lawn chairs with fishing poles fishing. My brother setup in the back on a hill by the Rt 177 fence and said his neighbor had 2 ft of water flowing through their lot.

It's been coming down pretty good here for a couple hours, looks like another all night rain. My new plot really needed it!

Well Chad, they have emerged. You have to look close, but they are there. Probably won't amount to much, but we shall see. I was happy just to see they had germinated.
You'll be surprised when you go back in a week or 2. Looks like Carroll county got a lot of rain also. Hell its still raining here.

Hit my plots with some miracle grow that I mixed up in the drum today.

Our 60% rain missed us today and went North of us. It's drier than a fart here. We got a short shower yesterday that might help. When I was down there Thursday nothing was up yet. Going down to pull my cam cards. It's been a really rough year and I'm running out of time.

It's been raining here off and on most of the day but very lightly. When I got out to our land this morning the ground was all wet, so it must of rained sometime early this morning and soaked my plots. Now it's pouring rain!

Went over to my buddies the other day and checked his camera with him. The whitetail institute pure attraction plot is getting hit pretty good. I could see where the deer are nibbling off the oats. He's got plenty of does coming in.

Good to hear Chad. I noticed on Sunday the oats were getting hit in mine pretty hard as well. I think one more good, hard frost will really benefit them.
