Pike County Road Trip

I went to Pike County today to do a septic tank investigation.  The site was in the woods and subsoil moisture was excellent.  Fields on the way looked very wet considering we are supposed to be on the verge of a drought.  I would judge that 99% of corn is planted between Hillsboro and Pittsfield.  There is always someone who is slow.  About 70% is emerged.  Soybeans are maybe 40% planted.  Some are starting to emerge.  We might not make it to the field till Saturday and farming is probably on hold till Monday.
