50+ mm of rain saves the day...I mean rice farmers!

Despite the fact we got a good amount of rain parts of the #1 orchard are drying out quickly.  Got about half way through with the fertiliser and had to stop.  Maybe some follow up rain today.

Lots of rain since uploading the video!   We are up in the 200 + mm range now.  More coming.  I can see rain clouds to the Nth East.  The rural roads crew are hard at it this morning out at the bridGe being repaired on 4026. The form work is going in for the road base.  With the increased activity we may have a fully functional bridge in a month or so!   The funeral across the road finishes today...a 2 day funeral which is a rarity around here.  I always thought it would be the really old guy in the next house that would be first to go.....
