I’m in Memphis, going toward the Navy base, the fields that should have seedlings in them are bare ugly looking areas. We’ve had hard rain every weekend so far this month. No chance to dry out.

There is still time to plant rice, perhaps the highest yielding hydrophillic crop there ia.

Used to call on customers in Memphis and then over to Counce. Would fly to Chattanooga. Too far to drive.

I'm just North of you in Tipton County. I just passed by the fields (behind USA Stadium) that I think you're referring to. I didn't even notice whether they dug the tractor and other equipment from the middle of the field yet. After today's rain, it'll be too wet to plow or plant for another week.

On a lighter note, my garden at my house is doing much better than the farmers fields. We're eating broccoli, romaine, and iceberg lettuce this week. Next week the cabbage will be in, and the cauliflower the week after that. I already have small tomatoes and squash, and more strawberries than my 2 girls can eat!

After the heavy rains ruined the garden and turned the tomatoes to mush last year, I made some changes that have really paid off!
