 | | Around here, there are virtually no walnuts, no acorns, no chock cherry, no hedge apples, few hickory or pig nuts. There were few mulberries and the berry crop was light. No apples on the dependable trees, no wild crab apples to be seen and only tiny wild grapes. Pears seem least affected and a plum tree that hasn't done anything for 28 years suddenly has some really nice fruit. The dryness is hurting the crop, some fields will be completely toast by Friday. The beans got that silver color and are beginning to lose their uniformity. We are 260 GGD behind last year, so by 2019 standards, the corn crop thinks its actually August 9th--but some of the worked fields already look like mid-September. By contrast, most corn on 30-year no-till ground is still a dark green all the way to the ground which, so far, displays only some light cracking. We need rain bad! |
