Does anyone remember a rainier summer?

The weather since November '16 has been ridiculous. No winter. Epic freeze. Rain chock a block all year. Brutal.

Then I went and planted food plots in September and my place turned in to the Sahara Desert.

We had the same experience the last two years planting in September. This year's summer plots and clover look amazing with all this rain, but we still plan to wait till October to avoid the September dust bowl.

I hope this rain means a cold winter. I think the rain stopped around late June, early July last year.

Last summer.

It's all my fault. I bought a boat.

Same experience here. We also wait until October. Before then, we can't even get the disk in the ground. However, waiting until October hasn't hurt the food plot because November and December have been so mild lately.

This is clearly my fault. I took an order for 2 million feet of export grade pine boards in late May. And then it rained 35 inches in the next 60 days. Today was the first day we ran the mill in a month. We have enough logs to run through the week. It is pouring down rain here and forecast for every day this week.

Where do you live? That's crazy.

Last 2 years and looking like this year I will top 70".

Last year we had a rain on 4th of July then went 32 days without a rain.

Historically, Sept-Oct is the driest and people always pray for rain. Of course 2 years ago right after I planted we got 9-12 inches in just 2 days and the whole northern park of Wilkinson county and Amite Co flooded.

This year rain has been very consistent. Has been a huge setback on trying to get my newly acquired place in order. Have a pond half dug, a bridge half way across a creek bed, 20 hours of dozer work on hold, about $15k worth of submar mats piled up and 80 acres of hay needing to be cut.

I'm complaining but still have a lot to be thankful for. My house doesn't flood, plenty of grass for my cows, and the rain has kept the heat down.
