WELL, IT WAS NOT A WASHOUT BUT WE DID PICK UP SOME MOISTURE OVER THE WEEKEND. RAINFALL TOTALS CAME IN ANYWHERE FROM ONE HALF OF AN INCH TO 1.25″ INCHES. THIS WEEK WILL BE VERY SIMILAR TO LAST WEEK WITH SMALL CHANCES EACH DAY TO SEE SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON. I WILL BE WATCHING WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY EVENINGS FOR THE POTENTIAL TO SEE A FEW STRONGER STORMS IN OUR AREA. AFTER TALKING TO A FEW OVER THE WEEKEND, THE ALFALFA CUTTINGS ARE SLIGHTLY BEHIND STILL BUT MUCH CLOSER TO THE NORMAL PACE AT THIS POINT IN THE SEASON. MISSOURI IS STILL HOME TO SOME OF THE BEST FIELD CONDITIONS IN THE COUNTRY AND WEST CENTRAL MISSOURI IS NO EXCEPTION. LOOKING OUT LONG RANGE, THIS TREND LOOKS TO CONTINUE, ALONG WITH A DRY SLOT FROM AROUND AUGUST 1ST THROUGH THE 13TH ACCORDING TO THE LRC. 99 PERCENT OF MISSOURI IS STILL NOT UNDER ANY DROUGHT ISSUES ACCORDING THE DROUGHT MONITOR INDEX. THIS IS EXTREMELY GREAT NEWS TO OUR LOCAL FARMERS. THAT IS IT FOR TODAY, I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH OUR EXCLUSIVE AG METEOGRAM FOR THE WEEK. TAKE CARE AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK! SUBBY
