Late summer is dry. And since the spring/early summer was wet and cold, the corn crop is still thirty days from mature. Warm weather all the way to mid October with no frost is a long shot, but such is farming. Our parents/grandparents lost their entire corn crop in 1974 due to a Labor Day weekend freeze. And no crop insurance to speak of at that time. Such is farming!
On the plus side, though, the animals look prosperous around here, even after coping with the excessive heat in late August. That may have taken more out of the farmers, which were Josh and Cindy at the time, as LeeAnn and I were vacationing. Thankful for a partnership!
