Use a fluke meter if you are checking. Be careful.

I’m not playing with it. I don’t touch 480. No clue why she’s putting out that kind of voltage but I’ll let the pros figure that one out

 

[jakethesnake]

My generator is what’s doing it. No clue why. Something has went haywire. It did trip the breaker on the unit. I reset and started it back up. Same readings on irrigation panel.

Those deer antlers are a real PIA. We usually run duals when we are pulling the batwing mowing ditches & crp, I ran one thru both tires on one side & the next day I ran one in a tire on the other side.

Yup been there done that

Hey Mark, ask Randy to do one of his rain dances in the sweat lodge. Bet that would help. Praying you get some rain man!

Same thing here. I have watched the rain split and go around for the last 4 days. Radar shows maybe some in the next half hour or so, but doesn't look like much. May feed a bale this morning just for good measure, I need to drop some in for the bull anyway, so I will give half to the girls first. Looks like dad may get some just 10 miles south of me.

Iowa’s soil had been drying out for six straight weeks until recent, repeated rainfalls ended the trend.

I thought we were the only ones that happened too. Last night it showed orange over us. Not a drop. Formed up after us and stormed in the lower part of the county.

Missed again this morning. Heard a few drops start hitting the roof and then it was done. Pulled up radar and it had just disappeared. Yesterday Springfield which is about 50-60 miles east of me had 5 inches in 2 hours. Storms broke up before they hit here and reformed about 30 miles east.

Praying for you buddy. We’re supposed to get some tonight or tomorrow. But the weather forecasters are usually about 99% wrong.

Good morning men, would love to share some of this rain. We got two inches in the last 12 hours. About 1-1/2 of those in an hour. So it mostly went downhill. Going to be a rainforest here soon if this keeps up. Weird how some get too much and some get not enough. Hope everyone gets some relief soon.

So fired the generator up today. Just to see if it would behave. Ran perfect held 480-500 volts as it should. No clue. Moved irrigation. What do you do?

Trucks and combines loaded up w wheat.

Weeds starting to come bad on wheat fields. We are well behind schedule. Everyone is. Weather has been different. Those are all horse nettle

Should be done tomorrow if everything continues to work

Planters are almost caught up to combined so beans should be in the following day. Again if everything cooperates

 

[jakethesnake]

Believe we gonna make it. Had great crop of wheat
