If you want to come over here and hunt groundhogs you are more than welcome. They are terrible this year.

I really love this time of year.
Our growing season isn’t as long and our crops get off to a latter start. We make up for it this time of year. Our days get long. Our crops take advantage of the extra hours of sunlight. You can almost watch them grow.
It’s a little too wet in the pinto bean fields yet, but I really hope I can get in them tomorrow. They are loaded with blossoms and even have some that have already pollinated and are growing pin beans. That means the white mold virus could have already gotten into the plant. The very worst time for it to enter the plant is early in blooming stage. The temperature has been cool and it has been damp. Idea conditions for pollination and white mold. It doesn’t like temperature above 85 but it isn’t predicted to get anywhere near that here by the lake.
Pinto bean blossoms

Almost have the 30” rows filled already.

Blossom that has pollinated and “pin bean” growing from it.

We got started at wheat today. Wasn’t a really good combine day. Spotty showers passing through. Wind off the lake, but we did get about 60 acres ground through.
