Who'll Stop the Rain?

Finally we have some rain! Beautiful buckets of liquid doused us all through the night, leaving over 3 inches of accumulated relief. My guess is that it is too little-too late for the crops; most corn leaves here are rolled up tighter than a pencil, and the beans are not fairing too well either.

A couple of days ago, a fisherman friend of mine was recalling trying to plant a food plot on his hunting land for the deer to use. He could not even get the disc into the ground to work the soil...it was like concrete!

The rain we got last night is a proverbial drop in the bucket compared to what we have lacked. Hopefully it's not the last of it.
