Glad to hear that you're having a decent year rain wise. If the KS dryland corn doesn't do well this year it probably wouldn't any year.

twenty years ago I planted short maturity corn on some dryland bottom ground. It made 88 bu. The following spring there was good moisture so I decided to continuous crop that ground and planted the same hybrid and it made 105 bu/A. That was the last dryland corn I planted, not because I wasn't satisfied with those yields, because I was really excited, but I changed to a wheat-summer fallow rotation that I could handle better. Today there are corn hybrids bred especially for dryland corn with our rainfall here that have a lot better properties. I am anxious to hear yield reports of the dryland corn yields this year.

We have quite a few local birds this year it seems. I do believe we’re a little east of the major flyway for the northern birds, but I could be wrong on that. It does seem like the big numbers of doves don’t show up usually, until the nobody is really hunting them anymore. Lol
Glad Cat chimed in, he’s the dove guy!

We have really good rain falling now and it has been coming down for a couple hours. I haven’t heard from family yet, I hope it’s falling over on family ground too. Kinda crazy how much difference 14 miles can make sometimes.

Oh man, I LOVE dove hunting!!! Best month of the year!

The moisture we've gotten this summer sets a new bar for our part of the country. We've had floods and whatnot before, but I've never experience the consistency that we've this year, and during this timeframe. I do not remember ever stringing together a wet June, July, and August like this. It's simply amazing!

Feel the same way exactly, except the September being the best month of the year part….lol
