Summer is finally starting to begin its senescence.  Yikes.  Worked in a couple 75 hr weeks there.  Managing an old ag field into a prairie is crazy tough.  Just when you think you're ahead, somewhere you're probably not.  This field always leaves you wondering, how could it take us so long to complete a task I thought would only take half a day!  There's usually always some cleaning up to do.  

The drought that we've been having is tricky to deal with.  For the most part, plants have been doing alright.  Management techniques have been altered a little, but nothing too dramatic.  We've seen plants stagger a little, not knowing whether they should force seed, or save up until another rain comes.  Usually we saw them stagger and force seed.  

Recently we've had some rain come in, and we're seeing quite a response from the plants.  It's like the time you're in bed, slept until 11 (not knowing you did), realize how late it is, and then you give that biiiig stretch...and sigh.  

The woman and I haven't had internet, so it's tough to get out to a coffee shop and blog after work.  Getting internet in a couple days though, so should be able to get on here more!!
