As this is being written we are experiencing a rain deluge in western Wisconsin. The forecast is for 3 to 5 inches. Dairy breakfasts have been postponed because of saturated parking fields and the Mississippi River is close to flood stage in some spots. Fortunately most hay is finished in this area – but spraying is delayed.
