[AT] Mud or dust?

[Francis Robinson]

    As I drove home from Portland Sunday I watched the grass and crops. They 
were lush and green at Portland which received more rain just before I got 
there than we have had most of the spring and all summer then it rained on 
us while we were there. As we got about to the I-70 / US-40 area things 
started looking more dry. About the time we turned west on IN-44 at 
Rushville (about 20 miles farther south) the grass was getting more and more 
brown. By the time we got home all yards were just brown and dry all over. 
Soybeans, corn and hay/pastures are really suffering badly. Son Scott has 
been doing some underground installation work down in Columbus IN (about 30 
miles south of us) and he tells me that their sandy soils are far worse than 
here. When we got home the grass crunched and broke under foot as we walked 
to the house only to see reports on TV about all of the mid-west flooding... 
:-)   I guess everything is normal...   :-)
    So, what is your old tractor driving through? Mud or dust?
