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.

I think under normal conditions they would here, too, but for all the rain that has fallen between here and there. It was great for the growing...now it needs to ripen. If they get the dry sunny days they want, there will be a bumper crop for sure.

Farming is such a gamble!
