Dry Weather

For the vacationer in the North Country, the weather prediction for the week is an unmitigated blessing.  Dry and warm during the day with cool evenings.  Typical Chamber of Commerce weather for this time of year.  If you make your living growing corn, soybeans or veggies, this weather is a disaster.  Although pockets of the NCR have had some decent rains and the forecasters say we are not far from normal rainfall totals this year, I have seen many fields in desparate need of a timely shower.  The damage is not irreversible yet, but with no respite predicted for the next ten days, the clock is ticking.
