Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IA-WR-5
Station Name: Hartford 1.0 E
Report Date: 4/26/2026
Submitted: 4/26/2026 9:00 AM
Scale Bar: Near Normal
Description:
One would think with April rainfall above 200% of normal, and the year at 150% there would be mud everywhere. Not the case. The dirt road still dries within two days of a half inch rainfall the past week. The week started out cold, then warmed rapidly to well above normal with 20-35 mph winds frequently. The pond is about to go into the spillway, but I think a good two inch rain is needed for that. Lawns are growing and a majority of the trees have leafed out with the oaks the last of course. Wasps have been numerous, about the only insect noted so far. Only one field being planted so far nearby. Decided to pull it back to normal as the soil seems to be taking any rainfall easily.
