    First load for the year was about 1/2 load. Today 3/4. Today was ash, elm and maple.

    Corn picked so you can get back in the fields. Must not be too wet there.

    Were still surrounded by corn as well. It doesn't look good for the farmers.

    It really isn't all bad as the corn will be okay. The beans maybe not so good but still could be okay. The best thing that could happen is the rain stops and it turns cold so the ground freezes. I remember one year, many, many moons ago when we finished picking corn in March! I also remember one year, maybe 1972 or 1973, when many soy beans were combined in January and February! In both cases it was the wet ground which was the problem. Then it froze and out came the machinery.
