While I'm only a hobby farmer I have a farmer's obsession about rain. It comes naturally having grown up on a farm where rain was often marginal. With that as prolog, it rained again last night, perhaps not a lot but enough to keep fields wet. The good news is that the weather app for the next ten days predicts NO rain!😀 Fields should dry.
Apparently some farmers had most of their corn planted before these rains set in. There is no news about any soybeans planted yet. It's still early and the soil is cold.
The bake sale at the locker this morning was impressive. The butcher's wife grew up in the local Hutterite Colony. The Hutterites often have much for sale to the community. She was busy baking for the bake sale. Many loaves of bread including sour dough, hamburger buns, caramel rolls, angel food cakes, were available as well as strawberry/rhubarb jam. There were also apple pies baked by their eleven year- old daughter.
Most of the bread I eat is sandwich thins. The sour dough bread purchased toasted made a tasty lunch. Topped with the jam, it was a real treat.
Takk for alt,

This is small sample of what was available at the bake sale.
