Winter was long and cold and so was spring. Cool weather has hung on with nighttime temps sometimes in the 40s and daytime highs in the 60s and 70s.That's ideal weather for cereal grains; oats, barley and wheat. There are few fields of those crops locally. It's mostly corn and soybeans. The pastures have liked the moisture and the cool temps but the corn and beans have grown solely.
Today it's 86 degrees with 90s predicted for tomorrow. The corn that's been slowly growing will now surge to new heights. Being the pretend farmer that I am, weather is always much on my mind. Then, too, is my personal comfort zone beginning at 75 and going up from there. There's a reason that I taught all those years in tropical Thailand!
