I was looking at the weather records for Sept. last week. It struck me as odd that the record high and low for Sept. where both in 1984.
I remember it being cold in 1984. The corn was planted late and much of it was still green at the end of Sept. So when it hit 29 degrees on the 29th it froze a lot of the corn. It locked it in at the moisture it was then. Which was in the high 20s-low 30s for moisture. The corn just would not dry down in the field and it was a bear in bins. Low test weights and poor storing made it a rough year.
I did not remember that Sept. 1st was the hottest day of that summer at 97 degrees. The spring of 1984 was cool and wet. I did not really remember any real hot days.
It just stuck me as odd for the two records to be in the same year.
I am wondering if we may set some records this year?? It is Cool and raining here. Saturday morning it is supposed to be 40 degrees. That is not far from frost in the low spots.
What are you fellows up in northern MN looking at for low temperatures????
Also next week there are Ember days. 17,19,& 20th. It usually is cool and wet on those days. Poor days to harvest on usually. Crops don't store as well harvested on Ember days.
We have been getting slow steady rain tonight. This is on top of slow steady rain last night. I has an 1" and 4 this as of this morning. Are we looking at a wet fall harvest??? We wanted to start chopping later this week but it is way too soft in the fields to even think about it.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
