Ready, set, wait

The men were all ready to rake and bale hay yesterday.  They even made it so far as to rake and move the baler to the field, but it wasn't quite dry enough.  The humidity has been so high this week!  Then, last night, we caught another rain shower with more expected this weekend.  So...we continue to wait for hay season to really get started.

The rain has been wonderful for the fields crops!  The soybeans continue to grow quickly with the warm temperatures and abundant moisture.  July and August tend to be pretty dry here, which is a tough environment for growing beans, so the rains are very welcome!   We are hopeful for a good corn harvest this year, also.  The ears are filling out nicely, and even the second ears are making a good effort.
