| Had more rain in one week than August 2020, 2021, and 2022 combined. More than four Augusts if you include our local disaster of 2017, too... If it doesn't rain again till the combines roll, we will be above insurance claims on beans and above average on corn. There was enough damage in the thin spots early that we won't post a county average above the records from 2014 for corn and 2016 for beans. But at least there will be nights I get out of the combine with a smile, and that's been a rarity for a long time "here". |
