The abundance of rain has produced tall and heavy crops this season.
The oats and barley silage crop is so tall that the windrow has never been so thick and heavy in years.
The crops are a little behind in ripening up because we haven’t had enough heat units to get it growing quickly.
So now the trick is to get the crop off without rain falling on it. I’m guessing many farmers are going to straight combine this year and the frost has to stay away too.
Many kids are still waiting for the heat of summer to come. We’ve had so much rain and cool weather that playing outside in the sun has come on rare days.
Now school starts up next Wednesday, Sept. 1. Lets hope this week ends with nice sunshine.
