These are pictures and evidence of what happens to me at my wife's family dinners. As you can see, usually there is one common denominator involved....Gretchen....well....It just so happens that Friday is her birthday....her 40th birthday......I know that everyone would very much like to wish her a happy birthday before she gets too old and senility starts to set in....(it's happening already).....Her address is 404 West View Drive in Atkinson and her phone # is 936-7825 if you would need that information. Also....I hadn't realized it until she brought him over for a visit, but, Brett Farve isn't really all that tall......as you can see, I am much taller than him......surprising....
The USDA Crop Conditions Report for 07/19/10 - Corn was down 1% from 73 to 72 nationwide. Illinois was up 2% to 67%. Iowa was down 2% to 69%. Trade was expecting this........Soybeans were up 2% to 67% nationwide. Illinois was up 2% to 64%. Iowa was unchanged at 69%. Kentucky was the big changer - down 8% on beans and down 13% on corn.
Yes....if you are wondering where it rained the other day and where it didn't rain, I can tell you this.....it was more or less just following our sprayers around all day....we get ready to spray-it clouds up and starts to rain...we quit-it quits....so , anyway , this was very inconvenient for us yesterday, but in August we again will be offering our $5 per acre rain offer and we will back it up by driving our sprayers around and pretending to spray for whoever needs rain.....
