Update

Well that was a longer break that I had planned!! Between my kidney stones, being away for work, our Internet not working, and it being Summer I have not had any opportunity (or motivation) to get back to the blog and post anything. I am happy to report that I passed my kidney stone. I passed one large part while the other part shattered. I am still awaiting the lab results to determine what caused the kidney stone in the first place.

I can't believe how cool and wet this spring has been! It seems like it has rained everyday/night for the last two weeks. You can feel the stress that some of the farmers are going through right now do to all the rain. We have not had many beans planted in the area. Some farmers had to scrap their plans for planting small grains and go with something else. In fact, it seems that if fields got planted they have been corn. Some of the bean fields are standing in a lot of water or have been flooded out. My co-workers keep telling me that this reminds them of the spring/summer of 1993. I can honestly say I don't remember that spring/summer. I was just going into high school and farming/agriculture/weather was the last thing that I would have ever thought of. Isn't it funny how God's plan takes over? I vowed I would never do anything that involved agriculture and here I am, an Extension Educator with an emphasis on Agronomy!
