The 2 identical are located less than 50 ft. apart but different heights, the 4 ft. one always reads higher than the 5 ft. one, there was a 0.04 difference in the 2 which averaged 0.10 this am. The electronic one read 0.10.

11/15/2012 7:00 AM 0.00 0.0 M M M The water table is very low in this area, chisel plowing in low land shows moisture but the higher ground is drying out from lack of enough rain. If substantial rain or snow doesn't come it could start another drought next planting season. Ponds and man made lakes are much below normal, drainage ditches are dry, tiles are not running, small streams & rivers are below normal. We are 11.93 inches of precipitation short from the previous 12 months 11-15-2010 to 11-15-2011.
