This morning started out looking good. Truck load of pinto beans and sun.

Unfortunately just about the time everything was almost dry enough it started to rain.
chamookman:
Hope Your rain was a spotty as Ours was here. Good Luck - Bob.
bjrogg:
It was pretty spotty and light here Bob. We had about a tenth of an inch yesterday afternoon but the wind blew and the sun came back out before it went down. It sure looked worse on the radar.
They took a lot of the rain out of forecast now . Hopefully we can get through today and then we get some combining weather.
I would really like to get these pintos harvested before we have to do early digs which I’m guessing will be this weekend sometime. I’m hoping to find out today when we have to dig.
Glad your rain was spotty Bob. I’m sure you guys have plenty to last the rest of the year already.

No pinto beans today. Drizzle and 67 degrees. Perfect white mold weather.
I looked at our black bean fields this morning. They still look really nice. Hope they stay that way. Probably about two weeks from harvest.
I just got a call about early dig beets. Not confirmed yet, but heard it through the grapevine they want to pick up our beet’s Tuesday. That means Sunday and Monday dig. Right when the weather hopefully gets good enough to go at our pinto beans again. This drizzle is really messing with our schedule.
I’m really hoping to get a lot of stuff done this month so I can get a few hunts in next month.
Still have to finish pinto beans, dig early dig sugar beets, harvest black beans, plant winter wheat, plant cover crops and do tillage. Plus all the normal stuff.
