My farm in north central Florida is right in the projected path for rain on Thursday.

I don't know what a tropical depression means technically but in practical terms, it means rain that we need. For us, that's a good thing. We've had very little rain this last month. Our pastures need rain for the grass to grow so the cows can eat.

So far in August, we've only had 4" of rain, hardly enough to keep this sandy soil wet for very long. Folks around here say that we are only 15 minutes away from a drought because of that fast draining sandy soil.

In August 2015 by comparison, we had TOO MUCH rain. 21" in one month. Everything was soggy. Only got one cutting of hay up in early fall because the fields were too muddy to get the hay equipment out in them.

But that's farming for ya'.....
