growing season update

Spring winds down.
Despite a few late frosts and several wet periods, a recent (6/15) USDA report indicates that most local farmers are satisfied with the way the growing season is going. The strawberry crop is generally holding its own, and corn, in many locations, is looking good. With all the moisture this Spring, field grasses are growing fast; some pastures are a little overgrown, as the grazing animals can’t keep up.
