milehiiu Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 And it has been snowing all weekend long in the Colorado high country. Opened later than normal, approx 17 days ago. Trail Ridge Road is closed to traffic once again. One to five feet of snow, just this weekend.

Hope it doesn't do you all in for the summer. So far, none of the hay prices down here have been affected. The winter shortage had me paying $12 a square bale from November through April. Thankfully, I can get it for $7 here now if I go pick the bales out of the field myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milehiiu Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 I am afraid more rain is on it's way to the Midwest. My wife spent the weekend with friends in North Platte, Nebraska. Rained on I-80, most of the way there. Today, Sunday, a drive that normally takes 3 hours, took 6 hours due to driving rain and darkness, most of the way back to Denver.

milehiiu Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 ^^^ Mother Nature can be cruel. Hopefully, she is done being cruel for this year. Best of luck with the crops. Farmers are the heart and soul of our nation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steubenhoosier Posted June 29, 2019 Report Share Posted June 29, 2019 I actually have seen some corn that will be “knee high on the Fourth of July .” The last couple of days has to have helped dry the soil out, but looks like a lot of rain in the upcoming forecast... at least for northern Indiana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipton County corn. You guys thinking he's shooting me straight? I thought those areas were some of the hardest hit. Obviously he has no reason to lie but seemed odd since so many have been saying much much longer until it's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
