The Boise valley is warm and dry. The sugar beets and onions all went in about the 1'st week of Apr, which is a couple weeks late. But the fields were too wet before that. There was a dry spell early in March which let most of the guys get the cereal grains in. Corn has been going in as fast as the guys can get across the fields for the last ten days.

We have had no rain for about three weeks. So things are drying out fast. I spent a three day weekend on the tractor in a T shirt and straw hat last Fri-Sun. 80 degrees predicted for Wed-Fri.

I am resetting gated pipe as quick as possible and irrigating pastures and hay fields since Sunday.


People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
