Slight progress

It wasn't the best drying day on the farm.  This morning, it was windy, but cloudy.  We had a small shower around 10am, and then it was sunny with very little breeze.  We counted ourselves luckily, however.  We heard that they had a downpour in Yates Center!  Quentin was able to combine a little bit late afternoon.  He cut the small field directly west of our house.  It was a little soft in spots, but went OK.  There was some corn down in parts of the field where the water must have been draining through.  Overall, not bad considering it was flooded just last week.

The field last week!
There are chances of rain tomorrow, but we are hoping it holds off a bit longer.  The men would like to get over to Chambers' tomorrow if that ground is dry enough.  Some fields over there by Owl Creek were flooded over the ears, and the grain is trying to sprout on the cob.  It would be good to get that harvested sooner rather than later.
