| Recent precipitation brought some much needed relief to this area. Natural grass is green and slowly growing. However, five days without moisture have dried things out again. Our day lilies are stunted and have brown leaves. The natural grass is only about a inches tall and patchy. Mandatory watering restrictions remain in effect for our community. |

| Most of our fields have dried enough to work the ground and apply hog manure before corn planting. Soybeans are all planted, getting ready to start SB pre-emermgent spraying, chances for rain the next few days may slow planting progress.
Continue to mow grass about every 6 days, vegetable garden is progressing, seeds and cold crop veggies are planted, hope to plant vegetable starts today,ie;tomato, peppers,etc. |
