A drive through the country will tell you corn pollination is in full swing in our area. The early planted corn started on the 4th of July weekend and the rest of the corn should finish with pollination this upcoming weekend. Although it has been hot I have not seen a lot of signs of moisture stress in the corn fields. That being said we could still use some rain especially with the heat that is predicted for next week. This week on the farm we have been getting a few things ready for harvest, hauling lime,building a shed , mowing farmsteads and ditches, and of course we are going to baseball games every night. Last week the only day we did not have a game with the boys we went to St. Louis to the Cardinals game. Gotta love summer !
