Harvest Time

When we planted corn in late May, we didn't anticipate that we would get barely a drop of rain all summer. The months of June and July proved to be nail biters for those of us in farming communities across the nation as the amount of rainfall was insufficient for our crops. We spent several weeks listening as the farm reports discussed the disasters farmers were experiencing all over the country. Some crops were a total loss.

Right around the time that our corn was starting to tassel, we finally got some rain. It must have been enough. Last week, we harvested our corn crop and were pleased with the results.
