We have had rain, and more rain. And tornadoes that mercifully stayed about 3 miles to the south of our house. Ted should have been in the field sometime last month. He's not getting in anytime soon. Last night, we got another 2 1/2 inches of rain. That came after 1 1/2 inches the night before, and so on...
Many of our fields look like this. Creeks are out. The water will probably go down quickly, but it will leave a waterlogged mess that will take time (who knows how much?) to dry out.
Last years corn stubble should not look like wetlands.
Add a couple of white egrets and it does look like the wetlands.
This yellow drain tile should be about a meter above ground.
This water is actually running over a road.
But it could be worse! This debris is from Saturday's tornado. It took out several barns in the area, thankfully sparing lives.(photos courtesy of Ted)
did you know that you can click on the pictures to view them larger? Well...most of the time it works.
