Today was the day. There was a bit of mowing I wanted to do before winter. Not having a cab on any of my tractors it seemed prudent to wait for a warmer day. Weather forecasters predicted a warm-up for today. They were correct...80 degrees now as this is written. The mowing was successfully completed so now the mower can be parked for the winter. Inside or outside?...there is room in the shop to keep it inside.
Earlier this week my thermometer registered 69 degrees in the morning. Apparently that was cold enough for a frost in some place. Some of my corn shows the effects of frost. Frost is helpful now for the crops. It stops them from growing so the green places will dry like the majority of the field. Frost also kills weeds in the field which is an advantage so they’re not green at harvest. This frost was likely too light to accomplish a weed kill. Some local farmers are now harvesting corn.
