Mountain View, CA

The past two weeks have provided for some nice, dry weather – finally. We didn't get any measurable rain here, which allowed us to get a bunch of tiling wrapped up. We were mainly working on pattern tiling about 90 acres of one of our rye fields that really needed some improved drainage. Like I mentioned before, our soils have a high clay percentage that really slows or inhibits water movement, and artificial drainage is key to getting the excess water away for healthy crop production.

Finally some dry weather

Tar spot, a disease of corn plants caused by the fungus Phyllachora maydis, has been causing problems in Mexico since the 1910s, but it stayed out of northern climes for more than a century. So it was surprising when tar spot was discovered in cornfields in Illinois and Indiana in 2015. The following year, it showed up in Wisconsin and a few other Midwestern states.

Colorado State

Fargo, ND

As much as North Dakota State has never been about moral victories and close calls, last Thursday night's loss at Colorado was as strong a showing as you might be able to have without notching a mark in the win column. Nearly five million people saw the fight NDSU QB Cam Miller and the Bison put up in a hostile environment against Deion Sanders and one of the biggest stories in college football, Colorado. Some of Sanders and his players' heelish antics turned the Bison into America's team, even if just for three hours.

The Waumandee Valley of western Wisconsin looks good right now with a hint of fall in the air. Moisture is more than adequate, with dry days between the rains to enable field work to proceed. We haven’t had much for soaking rains this year; it seems to be storming every time a weather system moves through the area.
