This is the probably the last year, my hubby will be planting his crop business.

The farm, dairy and crop business has been in the family which he took it over after the dairy cows were sold in the mid 80's. (where it was just him and his dad milking the cows)

For years besides a full time job, crop farming was about 100 + acres. (70-90 acres of soybeans, 30 acres of corn and 10 acres of hay).

The weather for this Spring has made it very hard for local farmers, many have not been able to plant their corn/soybeans on schedule with the constant rain and not enough time to dry up the fields.

I think this has been the worst year for farming besides the droughts we went thru back in 1999.

The flowers continue to thrive and my kids are enjoying the Summer days relaxing and soon attending camp and vacation. This year, schools begin early on August 31st so one could say half of the Summer is gone....
