Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: IL-MR-11
Station Name: New Boston 9.3 NNE
Report Date: 5/3/2026
Submitted: 5/03/2026 7:50 PM
Scale Bar: Mildly Dry
Description:
Moved our condition scale bar today from "Near Normal" to "Mildly Dry". We were planting some new fruit trees yesterday into an already existing fruit tree row, noticed that the soil was fairly dry, and digging was a little challenging. We have had a total of 0.91" of rain in the past two weeks, most of which was reported on one day, Tuesday 04/28/26. The water level in the ranch lake is still holding steady at 10% below lake capacity. Historically the ranch lake would have been at capacity by now from winter runoff and spring rains. Pasture grass is looking "OK", but still keeping cattle on round bales for at least a couple more weeks.
