“It’s the 4th of May and there is nothing planted yet here in central Ohio.The rest of the midwest is the same-too wet and too cold.”
Same here in southern Wisconsin. I kind of thought they’d at least disk these past two days, but...nothing. There are 700 acres around me just aching to be planted with sweet corn, but the soil is still too cold. And rain again, tomorrow!!
And, up the road from me are fields of golden wheat ready for harvest. I've never seen wheat growing this close to the Gulf Of Mexico.
Plus our government blew the levee to flood all of that farmland in Missouri.
I went to Safeway today. Bought a pound of Hormel bacon for $7.49. It was on sale.....down from $8.49. As I put it in the fridge, I noticed it was only a 12 ounce package. I think our next bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwiches will only be lettuce and tomatoes. I noticed many prices are staying the same, but the packages are much smaller. Example: six months ago I could buy a 14 ounce bag of Lay’s potato chips for $3.99. Today I paid $3.99 for 10.5 ounces.
