To anyone who lives in farm country in the north, I think you can relate to this. I was driving to work yesterday and I was amazed to see farmers taking in their wheat crops already. Heck, I'm shocked to see the wheat turned golden brown already. I admit the weather has been perty f'cked up this year, but that's just crazy. Taking out wheat in the middle of July?? Geez.

Of course to add insult to injury the corn hasn't even reached waste high yet and the ears of corn are dreadfully small this year so far. Especially for this time of year. One consolation seems to be the fact that the Soy Beans are growing like a MF and are HUGE so far. At least in my area they are. Anyone else who lives in farm country seeing this? I live in Michigan.

Yeah, me either. I realize the weather has been really dorked this year, but that's just crazy.

Spring must have really confused the h*ll out of the plants around here.

Not a farmer . .. but a gardner. . . . And yes, even in So Cal Hi-desert it's been strange. We had lettuce all Winter, tomatoes started in January, almost no grapes, figs are WAY-late . . . AND - strangest of all - our pomegranate tree looks like it's late October instead of mid-July.

I saw cows on Wednesday. Other than the cows I don't pay much attention to what is on a farm. :p
