Indystorm Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 This is exactly what farmers here in the Midwest don't need with planting of corn and beans behind schedule, let alone all the flooding worries and prolonged high water situations this will produce.

sojitodd Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Good God...another three inches of rain or so in five days? When will this end. I just got my leaking roof fixed-except it still leaks as I found out yesterday...and now more damn rain. *sigh* This is exactly what farmers here in the Midwest don't need with planting of corn and beans behind schedule, let alone all the flooding worries and prolonged high water situations this will produce. The fields are just mud or puddles of water around here. I don't think anything has been planted around here. My neighbor's yard is half filled with standing water even now. Just cut the grass-could not get to some of it-since the part by my neighbors is basically a bog. [/ b*tchrant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Farmers have been planting in this area but I don't know if everything is up to schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 From WANE TV Fort Wayne Soggy spring responsible Updated: Saturday, 21 May 2011, 12:24 PM EDT Published : Saturday, 21 May 2011, 12:17 PM EDT FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - The wet and chilly spring across northeast Indiana has kept farmers out of the fields and delayed planting across the region. The sets of planting statistics reported by the Allen County Extension Office and the USDA both show corn and soybean planting way behind schedule. Corn Stats - % Planted (For the week of May 15, 2011) Allen County: 20-25% Indiana: 29% Average % planted by this date: 66% Soybean Stats - % Planted (For the week of May 15, 2011) Allen County: <20% Indiana: 6% Average % planted by this date: 30% The Allen County Extension Office told NewsChannel 15's Nicholas Ferreri that, despite the delays, there's still time to get the crops in. See the video posted alongside this story to learn how farmers may have to adjust their planting plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeye Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 pretty dramatic turnaround in pattern. Just checked gfs and thru hr 180 we don't even manage a tenth of an inch of rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWXwx Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 It would be a dramatic turnaround. I have received 10.18" of rain in my CoCoRaHS gauge for May (nearby FWA has 10.17", their all-time May record). On top of that, I caught 4.69" from April 16-30. That's a total of 14.87" in the last six weeks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
