Should you want it to rain before the corn is harvested? Or has it been already?

Our preacher is from Lubbock, north of here where they raise a huge amount of cotton. While we are loving the rain, they would love a couple of weeks of sunshine so the cotton bolls will swell, pop out and they have a decent crop.

So...perspective is everything. :)

Nope, really shouldn’t want it to rain for harvesting purposes but my poor flowers aren’t happy.

I expect to wake up any day now to a cloud of dust and the rumbling of a combine in the fields. The corn’s ready and it’s just a matter of when Dusty and his crew make it around to the farm. Dusty owns a lot of land as well as rents a lot of acreage in the county and makes the rounds.

Wow, the cotton bolls haven’t popped out down there yet? The cotton here is just about ready to be harvested.
