"Whitetail Hollow" - 90 Acres NE Oklahoma.

I couldn't make it as a farmer...I would be so wigged out due to the weather I would probably go into cardiac arrest...bad enough just putting a few plots in...
 
Seems to me it would be less stress than the daily grind in the city.

Tonight's the night that you should get rain. My future cast has Fort Smith getting rain late tonight.

Don't really work in the city so not sure. I just know every time I see 1 of my trees die due to drought or see the plot germinate a little and then Wilt into dust I die a little bit with it :(

I do, in Tulsa...at times I'd rather be working the land, if I knew how to make a living at it....
 
Well with all this talk of all this awesome rain we are going to get tonight :rolleyes: I decided to hook the spreader up and head across the road after work to put down another 100 lbs of wheat to hopefully help offset what the turkeys and birds have picked up since last weekend because - guess what? - we haven't had any rain!

I put wheat seed on both plots and also added Barduro Red clover and Durana White clover to both plots again. I hand broadcast all the clover seed. After I got done doing that I put down 5 lbs of PTT in our backyard to compliment the 50 lbs of WR I did as a throw n mow back there yesterday evening...

Just looked at accuweather radar, there's a nice line of storms just about to Ponca headed our way...keeping fingers crossed.
 
I grabbed a couple cards while I was back there. I have a really weird non typical buck showing up now that I actually started seeing here last fall. He is a lot more non typical than he was...

Last year...

Looks like rain is coming your way too. Don't see how this one will miss you. The line stretches across the state. We have had a good rain out west! Plots ought to grow now!
 
Farm logs shows we got 1.57" here on the Hollow and for some reason it says we got none on the "Home 10"... Surely that's not right I hope!

Still a light sprinkle here and I do see a couple small puddles in the driveway from my doorway. If the wetter patterns hold now on throughout the fall we may have plots!!! We have a few good chances of rain next week it looks like :)
 
Well, eyes on the ground and farm logs both are verifying we got no rain at Home 10. Plots have been in since the 21st of August there and since that time only .16" of rain has fallen there. May not have any plots on that property this fall...
 
Crack in your rain gauge on the home 10?
No, force field blocked it out :(

Grandson Eli came out to stay with us this weekend so I took Saturday off and he and I did some lane clearing around the tree stands here on the hollow.

He got up in the tree and would tell me what needed to be cut...we trimmed up around 4 stands.

I have had raccoons getting in my pickup at night looking for food so Eli and I set a trap for my pickup bandits...they have scratched my truck up pretty good :(
