[AT] Are we alive?

Dean,
     Yes.  Worse both west and east of us, but without rain in the next 
week it will certainly hurt the crops badly.  Forecast to be about 
98-100 degrees all next week.  Pollination of later planted corn will 
not work out.  I heard of one yield test result of 179 bu/acre.  
Normally should have been projected at closer to 220 and that test was 
done early last week before the heat.  There are the usual spotty 
thunderstorms around from time to time and those crops under those rains 
will luck out.  Most all fields have that pineappley look to them most 
of the day.  Soybeans are probably still mostly alright, but the hay 
crop is really hurt.
