I hope you all get rain really soon! It is so hard to have to rely on the weather to make a living!

It is. The weather is always a concern......too much rain.....not enough rain......too cool of temperatures......too hot of temperatures!!! Always something!! However.....it's been good to us and our kids were raised with Mom and Dad both around a lot. The kids used to go with Dad in the tractors and combines.....and played at the shop with him around. I can't complain too much. Farming doesn't work for everyone.......and we've had friends that have gone on to do other things. God has been good to us!!!
We did get some rain last night. A half inch on some of our fields.....a little more here at the house. Hopefully it's a break in the weather and we'll get a little more.

That's great that you did get some rain. We got a little, but not much. Suppose to stay in the 90's with no rain in the forecast. It's so sad.

Even though we got some rain, we are still under a burn ban until August 6th. They'll re-evaluate things then.

We are under a burn ban until mid October. Last year, we had the floods that wiped out so much of this area.
I do see some beautiful corn crops though. They must have some kind of watering system in place. I read that the preice of corn and soy beans are going to be very high! My area is mostly dairy farms, but corn is also very important. There are not that many farm stands around as usually. It's a bad year for farmers!

They probably have irrigation in the fields. Different areas have different ways of irrigating.
Yes, the prices are higher than we've ever seen them.....as far as soybeans go. Feyn got $18.02 a bushel for beans last week!! Usually they are below ten dollars so this tells you how high they are. Glen sold some for $16 a couple of weeks ago and that was the most that he had ever sold beans for and the price is still going us. Glen thinks that the government will step in soon and put a stop to it. You're probably going to see some things going up at the grocery store because of it. Corn is up too but not to the extent that soybeans are. Soybeans are used in a lot of things if you check your labels.
