We only had two rain showers in the past two weeks -- one was one-half inch and another was four-fifths of an inch. That left plenty of dry days for farmers in the area to accomplish field work. The reduced humidity and sunshine was conducive for haymaking. One farmer I visited with said he put up some nice hay this past week, although not enough of it. Some late-summer-early-fall seeding was done in the area. Soils were dry enough to make a good seedbed.
