Drought conditions

We are still locked under severe drought conditions despite all the rainfall we have picked up over the last few weeks..Since my last drought update...There are still reports of wells drying up over in the Cumbaerland area,as well as others through out Barron County....Drought conditions are likely to slowly improve as we keep heading into fall...Some with any luck we will break out of this 2 to 4 year drought we have have been locked under...Day 6 through day 10 shows the FA to be either side of normal in rainfall..Meanwhile temps will remain below norms...Rule for 2009....Looking ahead from day 10 through 15...Rainfall once again close to norms(either side of norms) Temps close to norms....The rainfall we did pick up was much needed however after talking with local farmers they all said it came a little to late for the corn...They said they would not get their max yield from it or even come close to it...Plus the cold summer didn't help out either,was not a humid summer by summer means..Corn does need the higher dewpoints to yeild a good crop....Two things working agaisnt the farmers....Also many of the area lakes are well below normal...Even with all the rain they have not come up that much...Will have pictures of silver lake once again to show everyone what little the rain helped so far...Reason for this is,trees,grass,crops are eating up the rain that does not run off...Leaving the very little water to make it to the water table...We should slowly start to see this improve as we head through fall,and when the crops,trees,grass slowly starts to die off...(that is if we can can keep getting rainfall amounts like we have had over the last few weeks...So stay tuned over the next few weeks for more updates on this severe drought which looks to be slowly coming to an end....
