[AT] corn crop... newspaper article

[Mike Sloane]

You are indeed fortunate this year. April and May around here were 
pretty good growing months, and the first cutting of hay went very well, 
but June just dried up, and July is not looking any better. With a few 
exceptions, most of the corn in the local fields is only knee high if 
you are on the short side. The beans don't look that great either, and 
the second cutting of hay might not be until September if things keep 
going the way they are. The weather predictions keep calling for "chance 
of rain", but it seems that those chances are mighty slim. (Fortunately 
for me, I don't grow any crops anymore, so I don't have to worry too much.)
