Can you believe the difference between now and 6 months ago? Remember December and how it seemed like Mother Nature was never going to turn off the faucet? Well, March, April, and May have been a far cry from December.
Check out the numbers. After a fairly wet January and February, our rainfall deficit since January 1 is about a half inch below average. But since March 1, we are about two and a half inches below average. That is the number that has me nervous. Our water table has taken a significant hit over the past 60 days. It’s time to get some more rain in here. We need to get those lakes full and those fields green before summer.
