Ya know I've mentioned how dry it is here and plots not growing ...spending a lot of time hauling water to the garden to keep it alive...well I almost feel ashamed....went out today and what the hey....there are entire fields of corn and beans darn near burnt up...irrigation ponds  drained dry trying to save crops....We had all better start praying for rain....because we will be getting the bill down the road...one way or another....

Forcast here is actually calling for rain Sat. & Mon. but only 40%. What we need is 2-3 days of steady light rain so the ground can soak it up and not get washed out. My yard is crisp. Got to rework one plot already, something tells me I don't want to see the clover plot right now.

At this point any rain is good but by next weekend I'm hoping we catch a break. Funny how it all means more work.

This is why I always have acres of hay into alfalfa, trefoil, and clover. The roots grow deep into the moisture and it always recovers, after the hay is harvested,  no matter how dry it is.  Several deer feeding there tonight.  Corn is starting to tossel  out in farmers fields. Some is wilting in the heat of the day, but over all,looking good. Soybeans for the most part look good, but their are a few fields that were put in real late starting to brown in large areas.  The rain continues to go north of us over Canada.  Seems like it heads southeast into NY east of Watertown .
