Condition Monitoring Report  
Station Number: ID-BK-27
Station Name: Inkom 5.5 N
Report Date: 7/12/2026
Submitted: 7/12/2026 6:20 AM
Scale Bar: Severely Dry
Description:
General:  We remain dry.  I've moved us into "severely dry," as things are not really turning around.  It's hot (we've been spared the heat that much of the country has experienced), reaching 100 in Pocatello (and about 95 here).
Agriculture:  The crops are still looking good.  Mustard is seeding out, and the grain crop has whiskers (oats?).
Energy:  Even having used the air conditioner a lot yesterday (it was in the mid-90s) we created 93.79 kWHR and only used 29.34 kWHR. This is a testament to solar energy and its potential to help with global warming.
Fire: Danger is high, for sure.  We are tinder dry, with grasses now browning up.
Plants/Wildlife:  Still no ants, which is not good.  We're seeing more bees, and more yellow-jackets, but still few beetles.  
Water:  We expect .466" in July, and have only received .04 as of 7-12-26, with nearly half the month finished.
