After a good stretch of weather from May 17 until the 26 allowed a lot of planting progress to occur. I will be traveling through the west half of the county this afternoon to get a better idea of progress that has been made in this area which had been unable to make much progress as of the 19th.
Rainfall for the 27th and 28th seems to have varied a great deal across the area. Local reporting station saw the following amounts:
Wauseon 1.54 inches
Napoleon 1.00 inches
Montpilier 2.28 inches
Defiance (missing data)
OARDC NW Ag Research Station .55 inches
Toledo Airport 1.00 inches
Local reports have been in the 1 to 2.5 inch rangewhicxh included Pettisville and Delta in the 2 inch range. So the heavy showers were spotty.
The rainfall should help fields that were crusted over and improve emergence. The rains generally came measured out so that little standing water was seen.
