Thunder

I woke up this morning to the sound of thunder.  This always pro0mpts a visit to the NWS radar and precipitation amounts.  We were planing to work in the Belleville area and it looked good to go.  I left the house with rain falling and fields looked too wet all the way to Belleville.  When I got to my first field in Smithton, things looked good.  A few fields were borderline, but we avoided the puddles.  One field on the west side of Belleville was too wet. 

On days like this, modern technology is wonderful.  W#e would not have left the house if we did not know what was going on with the weather where we were headed.  Crops looked good for the most part.  All the corn we sampled was about foot tall and it was walked.  Soybeans were just coming up.  Wheat harvest should start next week.
