A little rain, but not enough...

Parts of Coshocton County got a little wet yesterday (my house had only a couple tenths of an inch in the rain gauge), but we certainly could have used more.

Some corn is really starting to dry out while other corn is still very green.

Folks are mostly working on third cutting of hay and it's still looking pretty goo.

Soybeans in the county are in a mixed bag - either they're still looking pretty good or they're starting to droop. I'm heading out this afternoon to check the Western Corn Rootworm traps, so I'll check them out even closer when I'm out and about. The double-cropped beans are really struggling...

The crops are still growing, but still no rain...

The headline pretty much says it all. No significant changes to mention since last week's post. Hopefully tropical storm/hurricane Fay will bring some much needed rain our way.

Still waiting for rain...

Coshocton County crops are still waiting for a good rain. Some parts of the county received about two-tenths of an inch over the weekend, but not nearly enough to satisfy everyone.

After checking my Western Corn Rootworm traps again, I found 8 more in Keene Township. There was also one perched on my car door handle when I was out at my husband's family farm over the weekend - I'm pretty sure it was laughing at me.

Soybeans have been blooming for a few weeks and pods are developing. Corn is coming right along too.

Alfalfa looks really good - some farmers are still working on their second cuttings, while others are well into their third.
