I just can’t imagine this cool you have! We have had some nice 70 early mornings but the afternoons and early evenings are killers. Next chance for a shower is Tuesday..and a chance for some cooling off.

I am sure your farmers are hurting.

They really are hurting. The rain and cold kept themfrom planting untill late, then it has been cold and rains about every third day, so that the corn is simply not growing. I passed a lot of fields today where the corn is about 2 inches high and the fields had standing water in spots and the corn had turned yellow. A friend of ours owns a mega farm and they planted over 1000 acres of corn. It is doubtful that it will produce. Hoping for warmer weather and a late fall.

I'm sorry you guys are hot (I can't recall where you live)
