We have finally managed a somewhat normal week around here. Everyone is back from vacation and no trips to the doctor or hospitals. The first sweet corn planting is all ready. We will probably pick everything that is ready this week and we will have another batch that is ready in about 2 weeks. This is probably some of the best that we have ever had.
In the fields this week we have been blessed with more moisture. On Monday we had 1/2" to 1.5" on all of the farms. There was some wind but it does not appear anything was snapped off. The corn is looking a lot better and I am predicting we will have a crop similar to last year. The only thing that this crop has lacked is a good planting date. This next week it looks like we are going to get some heat and humidity so that should keep us from getting further behind.
Happy Birthday to our youngest son Luke who turns 2 on August 10!!!!
