Dump all the water you want on your grass in Nov-Feb and it's not going to grow. Of course it would be optimal for the ground to be wet going into spring when things start growing but the moisture from Nov has nothing to do with that. There is most likely good feed out there from all of the moisture in sep and early oct but it's not from Nov onward until it warms up. You should see the grass spring up in Young right now. It’s unbelievable. I see giant herds of elk every morning gobbling it up. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Non-Typical Solutions Report post Posted 6 hours ago The other option is no rain and continued drought, to think anything otherwise would be...................................... Would a heavy snowpack help out more? Absolutely but to think these rains are not a God send, I am lost for words. Arizona is so unique as many things do continue to grow and have nutritional value due to the fact that we just don't have the harsh winters statewide like other parts of the world. Take a drive from Heber to Payson and look at all the dead trees..........due to lack of moisture! Keep the moisture coming rain or snow, we need it all. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Narrow-minded comment, now you're becoming ignorant beyond your logic. Not all plants go dormant. Elk eat more than grass. "Of course it would be more optimal" is precisely OPs point. You went negative. If you can't see that perennial vegetation and hydrologic conditions will benefit significantly from the current precipitation, than there isn't much left to say. Enjoy the weather 😎 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure if our QB has completed a pass in like..........3 games. He is a tough kid though and fun to watch. I thought we played sloppy last weekend against Eastmark but we won 35-0!!!

Cliff Rose put new growth on in November and is one of the best winter feeds. You can watch deer go from patch to patch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
