This is a mile away from us.
We had 45mm rainfall over 3 days ending 10 days ago.

It's a 2.5 acre field we used to crop, was a nice deep loamy soil and well drained (it was an orchard until 1967)....

we’ve had about 60 mm over 3 days last week & there is no water lying anywhere. I’m starting planting sorghum tomorrow, but realistically I could have started maybe 2 days ago ?
