Summertime in Iowa! Chat thread...

Time to fire up the grills, summer is here! Be nice if we can get some racing in without all the rain delays... Missed the Nationwide race due to rainout... Indy is this weekend, chance of showers, but low probability, so we shall see...

It's amazing how wet it is this year after last years drought. As a farmer I'm just waiting for the rain to stop and not rain again.

Yep, go from wishing it would rain to wishing the faucet would turn off... I have been through a few droughts over the years around here, and never have seen a follow up that has been so troublesome. I don't recall ever getting the main planting in as late as middle June...
