So we're talking to J.C. Schemper, Holdrege, Nebraska.
I guess you've got to have the bad so you can appreciate the good. And boy, do we appreciate the good, huh?
"Yeah, that's right. When you get something good, you sure have to talk about it. But that didn't last very long, of course."
So you're into Kansas next?
"That's correct. We'll actually go to Carmen, Oklahoma next. They have some 30 to 50 bushel wheat there. Obviously had an inch of rain there last night. So no harvesting going on. No, the wheat's ready. We might have one day next week in the forecast. Maybe, you know, Tuesday, Wednesday. And after that, we've got some chances for rain about every day. So we'll see how this goes."
Well, I've got Facebook friends saying Wyoming and Utah and Colorado, they're getting some snow. And I'm going, well, hey, just send a little bit of that east and south.
"No kidding, man. I can assure you that. I'm actually in Holdrege, Nebraska today, and we received two inches of rain here in town last night. What a welcome sight to see that much morning. Water puddles around, thunderstorms rolling, because I tell you what, the guys in southwest Oklahoma don't ever remember a year where they never even got a thunderstorm warning until the end of April. That never happens down there. It was just a complete year of just drought. Just couldn't brew up a storm anywhere."
