How dry now?

[loneranger]

Due to rains almost weekly down in Mo, my SE Iowa land received 4 inches and a little more during July,,but I know from travel, a lot of Iowa is dry, Up in the DesMoines ,Boone area, where I also reside, we have basically gotten an inch since July 1st. Next ten days to the rest of the month forecast to be the same dryness. Ring of Fire rains to the southwest,,,some storms NE of Iowa, but little in the middle. DesMoines area could easily have only an inch for 60 days. This is way worse than the "Drought", of 2012 around here.

Spotty for sure. 7/10ths 2 weeks ago, 3/10ths last Friday and 4/10ths yesterday, and that's it since some time in june. Enough to get brassicas going so not gonna complain. Last year my seed sat in dirt until the end of September waiting for rain. Gonna get my rye mix in this week with some rain chances coming, then dryer and cool after that.
