Today hammered home the POINT of how western KS farmers talk about rain in points not inches and love talking about how much more they got then someone else. (For the city slickers 100 points equals an inch).
At 830am our crop farmer showed up to see how much rain we had gotten while I was walking the mutts. I told him I just emptied the rain gauge and we got an inch last night. He replies with how he got 120 points over at his place.
Around 11 our cow farmers wife shows up in a Polaris to check on the cows in our pasture and brags about the 150 points they got at their place 7 miles away and casually dropped that some other pasture they rent got 240 points.
Also it's raining again, basically ShangriLa on the high plains of NW KS this year.
