We've had lots of rain here the last 3 or 4 weeks............some were real frog stranglers. Had water in my middle cellar, but the sump pump appeared to keep up in the back cellar, where you could float a boat with the water that would run in that one. Yuck.
Seems like most everyone around got most of their hay made without rain. And the 3rd week of July was the county fair, and it ALWAYS seems to rain at least once during fair week. This year it rained 3 days. The rodeo was just about done the opening night of the fair when it started. That one had the potential for being really bad, but other than some wind locally and heavy rain, it wasn't too bad. Some trees down...........the usual.
The corn is looking beautiful, and the hay is growing gangbusters with all the rain we've been having.
Our renter brought 32 heifers to put in our pasture here at home, and a week later brought another 12 for the pasture up at the other farm. They are all bred, so thankfully no bull at either place like last summer. Don't trust those suckers at all.
So, what are the rest of you farmers up to?
