Food Plots Come on rain !

Reseeded about 800 lbs of rye, oats, wheat, and a small mixed bag. Plots look decent considering lack of rain . Frost killed most weeds and I cut everything high . Been raining about three hrs and I'm very thankful for it.
 
Haven't looked at the gauge. But we got a decent rain. Very thankful we fertilized some plots planted in September and drilled some acres yesterday. Feels like luck this year to get rain and I'll take all of it we can get.
 
0.37in at the farm. I'll take it, but very disappointed. It will buy me a week or so before all plots are completely dead. Hopefully we get over an inch with the next round in 6 days
 
Rained 5 hours & we only got .47", but thankful for that. Enough to settle dust, water the clover & germinate the 1,000# wheat we overseeded. Need more though..
 
Forecast rainfall for the next 7 days:

Was only .04 when I got up at 6; but at .26 now. Just fertilized yesterday, so I think I lucked out getting just enough. 10 day forecast showing a total of about 1.25" over days 6-10; hope that happens.
 
Our local drought is definitely over. Back when we got the big hurricane rains, all of the water went straight into the ground. Almost no runoff or ponding of water. Now, with these most recent rains, starting to fill the puddles and get muddy on the roads.

We've had 7.00" of rain in November. Food plots look absolutely fantastic considering how they looked a month ago.
 
This front is missing me currently.

Still less than an inch of rain on my farms since beginning of August taking out the single rain event of 4in with Helene. Food plots are terrible, but they are way better than what everyone else around me has. Had 25 deer feeding at one time in one of my cover crop fields evening before yesterday.

I've actually had 2 ponds dry up that have never gone dry before. The others with water are 3ft low.
