This month we have received 5.07 inches which brings the year to date of rain reports to 20.44 inches.  We are getting rain at least every 2 days since June 6.  The ground hasn't had a chance to dry out completly since June 6.  The field crops are growing pretty well except in areas where there has been repeated ponding.  I am not sure if all the fields got planted since the ground hasn't had a chance to dry completly in the last 3 weeks and the planting window was so short at the beginning of the month.  I have seen farmers in the planted fields with sprayers.  There have been plenty of bird and animal activity in the area.  News reports have shown areas of the country where there is flooding, and other areas where there are wildfires.  There have been some fairly large earthquakes in a couple countries with an area of Venezuela having major damage.
