I guess you could say my American Dream is complete. I have my kids (the crops I spend so much time around) and the white picket fence, which always starts to make the site even more attractive.
The landscape crew arrived and put up the internal fencing on Thursday afternoon and Friday morning - finished at noon. I am always nervous when they put this fence up since the 4X4 posts used to support the fence are 3 feet in the ground and my drip irrigation is 12" deep! Talk about a close call...
I guess we did pretty good job of locating the lines and the crew did a good job of working around them so we have no breaks to fix in our irrigation.
While we're on the topic of irrigation, no need for it right now at the Husker Harvest Days site since Mother Nature has given us plenty of water to work with. I have decided to keep the irrigation off for a while and let the soil dry down some.
The beans are getting a little too tall. With the last irrigation applied last Monday plus 2+ inches of rain this week, there is plenty of moisture for several days.
Temperatures are in the low to mid 90's and with the higher humidity, it feels like 104.
The crops can really use the temperature as pollination is complete in all but the very late planted fields.
Until next time...
