We haven't had any excess rain here in NW Iowa, but the little rains we do get just won't stop. The crop was planted right and is looking good, but so are the weeds. Our windows of opportunity for spraying are pretty narrow.

Got half way around one field spraying fencerows and here came the black clouds so I headed for the shed two miles away and got there just before the .45" of rain came pounding down. About three acres out of my 16 acres of very brown hay was baled before the rain came rolling in.
