Weekly precipitation was 0.57 inches. Temperature range for the past week: 49-84. Sunday, Monday and Tuesday were warm and humid. Thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon provided the bulk of the reported weekly rainfall (0.53). Wednesday through Saturday saw a return to a North wind and cooler, drier air. A quick downpour early Thursday morning provided 4 hundredths. It looks like many of the beans that had not germinated before the widespread rain Tuesday are now sprouted and coming. At least half of the acres we farm received twice as much rainfall this past week as the station I report for. Deer and hogs are now a much worse problem to our stand than lack of moisture. The drought conditions continue for this area. Both the water year and calendar year are around 60% of normal. Currently, the moisture is adequate to support all things green, with the fields and trees showing fresh tender growth. It must be pointed out that ground moisture at depth is very low. The drainage ditch behind my house has cracks in the bottom (the last time it held water was March 12th).
