Paula Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 started to thunder at 4 this morning and we are now finally getting rain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Started raining here about 20 mins ago. Looks to be a nice steady rain, not a down pour. I hope it keeps up for a couple hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
growalot Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just started...but just a drizzle...afraid too little too late.....when traveling yesterday saw many fields of very short corn all tasseled out some very thin sad looking bean fields ...once that happens it stops growing...farm we went to had just done a 2nd cutting of hay.....They are looking at a tough winter with a lot of animals to feed...puts the food plots in perspective Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 it only sprinkled a few minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WNYBuckHunter Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Weve had over an hour of rain so far with one 5 min break. We had a real good downpour for a while there. Its slowed to a sprinkle for now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pav2704 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Couldn't be more excited!!! Drove 4 hours to property Friday morning and planted annuals (brassica and turnips) in three different food plots. I tried to plan the planting around the rain especially since my corn crop failed. Hoping when I go back up in two weeks I'll see some growth!!

Dom Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 The eastern side of the state is not doing any better.Went and baught some sweet corn the other day first picking and it was terrible,very small ears compared to other year's at this time.Almost to late in the season to recover from the lack of rain, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fasteddie Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 We have only had a sprinkling here in Ontario . I was going to help my son take down some ladder stands and possibly put them up on other properties but he said it was raining in Honeoye Falls and didn't want to take a chance on one of us getting hurt by slipping on the ladders or him making his torn biceps muscle any worse .

Suilleabhain Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 My brother was at our place in 3A & said there was no running water on the property. Logging road washed out from the spring rain and now was a leg breaking rocky stream bed. They've also had no rain for a while. 100 degrees and Beaverkill campsite was packed with people trying to get in the river to cool off. Locals in town had "good" news, the deer population is down & they aren't eating everyone's flowers and shrubs. That sounds just ducky. Whistle pigs are all over, even in our food plot.
