It's not just Indiana, either. We were in SD the first week of June on a prairie dog trip. Main road to the lodge was flooded and the alternate route was not much better. We couldn't even get to the dog towns and never uncased a rifle.
Tornado watch right now for much of central IN.
Beautiful clear morning. Everything is wet but sun is out.

We’ll most likely lose 700-800 acres of corn and soybeans due to flooding from yesterday’s rain. Too bad people don’t understand that rice jokes aren’t the least bit funny farmers.

Were past the time to plant/replant corn. As far as soybeans, were getting pretty late once we figure in the time it’ll take for the river to go down and the fields dry out. We’ll try to replant with soybeans if we can, but the forecast the next week or two doesn’t look very good for drying anything out.Sorry to hear that. I gripe about the rain we've had and it being an inconvenience but the much more drastic side is the farmers who haven't been able to get all the seed planted or who have lost much of what has been planted due to the rain. Unfortunately nothing we can do about it. But I am sure we will all feel some pain from it at the grocery.
How late in the season can corn & soy beans etc be planted and harvested?
Feeling exceptionally optimistic this morning? I'm glad to see the sun...even if it might be short lived
CM,
Did it rain this much when you were helping Noah build the ark?
1st out on the deck around 8:00. It was just nice outside. Set the tone for the day.
You know it’s a good day when the Metamucil kicks in before you get in the truck and leave for the day.
It has been a stellar day.
