Wild turkeys and fly tying...feels like being back in the Elk Valley again.

The feed corn crop here might be good, there was plenty of rain before the beginning of July and the crops we've seen look vigorous. But in town, most people don't waste water on their lawns and the only green is weeds-I water my raised beds and a few container plants/new shrubs in the front but the perennials are on their own. I am not sure we'll be able to even have a campfire this weekend when we head to Englishman River park, it's that dry.

Hurricane Isaac dropped 6+ inches of rain here over 3 days. It may have saved the soybean crops from going to the insurance adjuster but it didn't help the corn crops at all, they were already gone. And since that rain it has been raining at least every 5th day. That's almost too much for the soybeans; and it is hampering the corn harvest. The corn won't dry out and the aspergillus mold/aflatoxin problem could be worsened.

It's been one helluva crop year....
