We owe a special thanks to all of those who have served our country, both past and present on this Memorial Day weekend. My holiday weekend has been spent tracking flooding rainfall which doesn't want to ease up on Kansas. I'm going to add up the amounts in the next few days, but some areas of the state have had well over 12 inches of rain this month alone. We hate to complain about the rain, but a stretch of dry weather would be much appreciated in central and eastern Kansas where the flooding has been extensive. The aerial pictures from Salina are impressive to say the least and with more rain expected this week, we know the situation could get worse before it gets better.
Some of the wheat in south-central Kansas doesn't look bad considering the cold temperatures we suffered through in April. I'm sure the rain has helped the wheat recover in some ways, but at the same time, I've read a couple of articles that suggest it might be suffering from rust with all of the recent rainfall. Hopefully things will turn around soon in Kansas weather.
Enjoy the rest of your holiday.
