[AT] corn crop... newspaper article

Mike, that is true. There was one cutting of hay this year on my fields 
and it is not looking like another cutting is happening anytime soon. 
The only benefit is that, unlike last year which was very wet, this year 
the mosquitos are way down. I don't think I ever remember a year as bad 
as last year for mosquitos.
