Woefully short

06 Nov 2009 06:37 AM
Outside of a warm week or two this growing season, there was not much heat to speak of and our growing degree total was some 400 units short of average. The record cold in July really hurt as it should be the month where we accumulate the most GDDs. A very wet October did not help the still standing crops any as mold is now a major problem with the corn and soybean crops.

Voting:
Good = 30
