[QUOTE="Blaithin, post: 6496944, member: 5764"] Did an acreage walk today. Here’s the pond out back. Not even mud to sink into, although there are still frogs. The average annual precipitation in this area is about 400 mm. In May, June and July we got roughly 246mm. A quarter of the year brought over half our annual precipitation, yet sloughs and low spots are still dry. [ATTACH type="full"]825666[/ATTACH] The sacrifice pasture grass is probably averaging thigh height but it’s thick as a carpet. A lot of it lodged over last month and when I dug under it it’s still visibly wet. We haven’t had any rain in over two weeks, besides about 5mm ten days ago, and the temperature has been mid 20s and higher every day with no clouds. Yet the grass protects itself and the soil.
