For sure on the eastern side, nuttin but corn and beans, bout this time of year, right before harvest, this place is busy.
This year, not so much. Gotta lot of friends who have been pretty successful farmers, but are taking a BRUTAL beating this year. We did a job a few weeks ago, out on a rural farm, looked around when in the air, looked apocalyptic. Scorched earth type a thing.
Going out today to dump one for our city administrator. Has a locust getting dwarfed buy a monster silver maple, bet the stump on this thing is 20ft in dia, DBH is maybe 7ft. Locust should take about 30-45 min to get on the ground, then back inside! Have never been so ready for winter. You can always add clothing, but you only can take off so much. Think if I was running around butt naked with chaps and a hard hart, someone would get the wrong idea. Heat index over 100 again today :\
The corn has been brown for a while about two months early. I know a bunch of farmers too and they have been cutting corn and leaving strips for the adjusters to see.
