    Re: [RC] Pasture - Truman Prevatt


    I read the Post article also. FL had been in a five year drought until this June. This past June was the wettest on record in West central FL. Between 13 and upward to 20 inches of rain throughout the area. Now we are going into the real part of the rainy season.

    I spent yesterday terracing the barn area because of erosion - didn't happen for 3 years. Spend tomorrow finishing the job. Can't work today - it's raining.  Sure wish we could send some your way.
