Things have changed in our area since the last report. The rains continue to be very spotty, but most of our fields have had 3-4 more inches of rain. That has moved all of our crop from looking just OK to looking fantastic. I would never have thought the corn could be 7-8 feet tall by July 4.
July rains have made the second cutting of alfalfa at the Brosnan farm go slowly. "It’s nice to have rain, but it changes the alfalfa schedule," Mike Brosnan said.Â
The Brosnans empty bins in preparation for fall harvest. They delivered corn to the Mitchell, S.D., Poet plant.Â
Everyone on the Brosnan farm helps with hay baling when the time comes, including Grandma and the grandkids.
