We received 1.51” of rainfall this week and have had 1.56” in the past two weeks. The rain we received this week was spread out over several days so there wasn’t much runoff. Soil moisture has improved somewhat but still seems to be lower than expected as are water bodies and streams. Plant/crop growth is very good with the warm weather and now adequate water. Local ranchers are reducing hay feeding due to grass growth and availability of forages for their livestock. Fire danger has been low this week due to the rains.
