Yesterday I was in southwestern Minnesota, the corn is tassling, the soybeans are green. Only the marginal land gets planted for hay...they had a surprise heavy rain a couple weeks ago, and right in the Minnesota River flood plain there were a number of fields still underwater. Sadly with many big round bales sitting like islands in the water. With the costs facing farmers this year, I was sad to see all that spoiled hay!

We have had little rain here, so out yard looks a bit like a brown pasture - just keeping the vegetable garden and flowers alive.
