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.
