v 2.4.3.0

This area seems to be continuously missing all the rain. Looking at local farm fields, the corn is showing stress, with even corn in bottomland areas showing curled leaves. Late plantings of soybeans are stunted in growth and some show wilting of leaves. There have been fires along highway right-of-ways where someone has thrown a cigarette out onto the dry grass. Lawns are brown and not growing. Our creek is down to a mere trickle, and one of our wetland ponds is dry, while the others are quite low on water. Once again amphibians will be in trouble and unable to complete their reproductive cycle if we don't get significant rain soon. CoCoRaHS Report from Station #Holland 6.3 NW on 7/11/2017
