I'm in W SC. This spring was wet and had to plant garden crops between showers. Turned dry and had to use soaker hose on vegetables and corn. First planting of corn turned out ok and is in freezer. Planted some late corn which is silking now. Hay was difficult to harvest at first because of wet weather, then because of threats of wet weather which didn't occur. Finally got most hay cut and baled. Other people had similar problems. During June we got maybe an inch of rain total. July hasn't been too good either, until yeaterday I got 1/2 inch of rain. Yesterday we got an inch of rain with wind, today(Sunday) we got 9/10 with lightening. It fried a telephone in the house, guess a new one is in order.
Soybeans nearby were planted during the last of the Spring wet weather about the middle of May, and are still looking good. He did Roundup ready beans and they are almost all weed free, so far. Drove 20-30 miles away Saturday to a large flea market, saw some beans no tilled in small grain stubble which had a good stand but are maybe hand high. Some corn that wasn't planted as early as my garden corn looks pitiful. I planted corn the first week in April.
There has been almost no second growth on hay locally. Cousin was lucky in getting some rain and has had 2 cuttings of Coastal Bermuda. Afternoon rains for thnext week would suit me fine. They are forecasting 100+ temps for the middle of the week.

Today's Featured Article - The Revival of a John Deere Combine - by The Red, John Fritz. For several years I had been driving by a farm house on the west side of Indianapolis that had a John Deere combine parked in high weeds in a lot behind the house. The gentleman no longer farmed because the entire area was developed with housing and light industry. I had stopped several times and knocked on the door but no one would answer. My curiosity was up and I wanted to contact the owner. I wanted to see what he planned to do with the combine.
