Just like last year, we've had a very wet spring. Lots of flooding, and bean and corn planting is running way behind. Most of what little has been planted has been flooded out and will have to be replanted.
The past few days, however, have been dry and the farmers are out in full force. The wife works for a farm services company so when they're busy, she's busy. She's been working 12-13 hours a day since Wed and left for work at 5 this morning. Don't expect her back till 6 or 7 tonight. Supposed to rain tomorrow so maybe she'll get a break.
I complain about the weather like most everyone else, but I shouldn't. Sure, I might pay higher prices for food because of it, and it affects the heating and cooling bills, but my livelihood doesn't depend on it like with a lot of other people. Hope everyone gets the weather they need to keep going.
