You can buy those flow meters pretty cheap for garden hose fitting size. We have one for the water softener on our RV so I'll know when to regen the system.
Think it was under $30? Gives a daily count, and keeps tabs of a total gallons used until reset.
Edit: the clover plot is under 1/2 acre.
Helena, Okla received 2.5 inches of rain today from 3 am until 9 am while I was there. Damn it was dry up there.
I’m straight north of there probably 40 miles and only got 1.5” at my house, and I am happy to get it.
.56" at my clover plot. May not be enough to bring it out of dormancy. More rain on the way hopefully.
I received 5.25” at Piedmont but Bristow shows 0.38” on Mesonet. Hoping that amount is incorrect as 360 degrees around Bristow received over an inch and the Bristow site was offline immediately after the rain.
In any case, I’d love to get another inch over there tonight.

I bet you got more at Bristow. It’s a turd floater at Davenport and Stroud. I’m pretty close to there.
Well, I am pleased with the stand I got when I planted two weeks ago, ahead of that last rain. The rains we are supposed to get tomorrow and this week should make it even better.
What I am most pleased about is how well my ladino clover came up. I put down a little pellet lime and some starter fertilizer, then seeded 5 lbs of clover seed/ac mixed with my BFO’s as a carrier. I don’t have a cultipacker so I just welded some chain hooks on an 8’ length of 4” pipe and dragged that over everything to pack it in. Seems to have done the trick.

My established clover field is coming out of dormancy as well, so this week will be great for that.
