I have been lucky this year and got rain while others have been missed. Last year during the late summer and fall I missed every rain chance. I know my son up in northern Wisconsin were in drought conditions but over the past several weeks that was wiped out with much above rainfall. Of course they don't get the yearly rainfall that happens here so it was a tad easier getting out of those conditions. Would be nice to see 2-4 inches between the 12th and end of the month. I would love to hear from some farmers and hear their thoughts because if I really want the experts on weather I go to them.

Tim , the farmer’s didn’t do too bad , in our region. Te saving grace was getting the crops in the ground early and establishing a significant root system enabling them to withstand a drought better, 1 or 2 weeks made a big difference from what could have been a disaster. As far as trees and shrubs, I’m in constant contact with a couple certified arborist and several nurserymen , and trust me , the drought stress is significant already

Thanks for the info. I thought the farmers were doing okay but again I have no personal knowledge. I knew you had contacts with a few arborist's and nurserymen and that first hand knowledge is wonderful. My trees and bushes seem okay except for a couple of boxwood's. I know something has been attaching them this year and saw many in the neighborhood really look bad in the early summer but mine finally started to see stress in August. They don't look dead but the color is faint. I guess next spring I will find out how bad they turn out though I am thinking about replacing them anyway.

Yes, there is something attacking the boxwoods pretty hard. My BIL's across the street is about half brown/yellow. We just had our front landscape done in July, and the boxwoods they planted are showing a little sign of it, but hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Then the big drop in temp overnight. Weekend will feel more like mid-November so enjoy as we know mid-November can be quite breezy and cloudy.

That map looks nice as Les went 0.15-0.35 and I went 0.25-0.50. My guess a few areas either side of those numbers as well. My final total was 0.31
