I had less than 5" on all my cotton from planting until defoliation. Most fields were less than 2". We could still see tracks from the planter a few weeks ago. Last two weeks of august and we have sprouted seed and standing water. Soil profile completely full and now NOAA predicting up to 10" of rain through Monday. Our dryland cotton was junk, but irrigated was phenomenal
Rain is outdoors.....

Seems like feast or famine most of the time. Until the last two weeks we had 5" for the last 12 months at our ranch in Kimble Co. Sold all the calves and a third of the mother cows (never quit having to feed hay since the winter). Have received close to 5" the last two weeks which I'm very thankful for. Hate to see trees dying and have been finding a number of dead deer (starvation). Going to be a very poor horn year as well due to the tough conditions.

Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really
Had enough deep moisture that we made just enough of a crop that insurance wouldn't pay on the dryland
had 1.5" between tilden and three rivers yesterday.
New drought map released.
Down to only 3 areas with exceptional drought.
Winner winner. Of the worst kind.

Coryell county still under a rain force field.
La Niña has settled in.
Tropical chances gone.
Staring the worst drought in modern times right in the face.
20+ inches behind for the year, not counting the La Niña fall/winter of 2021.
This is nothing short of crippling.

Ended up getting nearly 3" in northern Bastrop county. We got lucky. Just north in Blue/Lexington they barely got an inch.
.32 when 1-2" was predicted.
Enough to settle the dust.
Looks like we will finish the month in the same extreme drought situation that we've been in almost all year.
Dry doesn't even describe it anymore.

Not as bad, but Callahan county is still in extreme drought and I swear there's a bubble around Moran/Cisco. Granted we did get about 3" spread out the past two months. Very thankful for that at least.TikkaShooter said:

Got over 2" here in Burnet out b Oatmeal.
Been raining at the lease near Brady since 4am. No rain gauge here but I'd bet it's pushing two inches at this point. It looked like a desert out here yesterday.
congrats - sitting in frio county waiting for it to get here
edit - didnt last long but thankful for the .20 we got,

9.39" of rain since October 11th here in Johnson County east of Joshua
0.00
Still close to 15" behind for the year. Short of some biblical December flood event, 2022 will be the driest year of my lifetime.
F it. I'm done with this year

2+ inches in north central Houston .
It absolutely poured in the Woodlands last night. 2-3 inches for sure.
How's everyone west of I-35 hanging in there? Callahan county has moved out of severe and into a moderate drought. We had some decent rain in February, a couple of showers in March but no flash floods. Hoping to get a turd floater soon to fill the tanks back up to 100%. Last summer has given me anxiety.
purposely didnt pick up dog poop for said turd floater thats supposed to be coming. will also be washing my car and leaving the windows down.......fingers crossed
I give up on rain
My FIL is right in the middle of the brown "exceptional drought" blob. He needs rain BAD!Yesterday said:

Maybe some in the forecast if it is to be believed.

How long do you want to ignore this user?
So far zero drops. This after a projected total of 1" today.
Great start to the best rain chance we've had since mid 2021

Hardest rain in a long time.

It's pouring here in Kosciusko, and has been for a while.
You boys to the south enjoy. Not a Fn thing here in the extreme drought zone. MF here we go again in 2023. This drought sucks.
