Another week of summer has flown by! Good luck to all 4-H and FFA exhibitors heading to the Clark County Fair.
Markets had a much-needed rebound this week, which was a welcome change after last week’s downturn.

I hope everyone had a great four-day week! This month has flown by, and we are already making our way into June! Hopefully, we will see the summer heat, and some early-in-the-week dryness, start to move into the area next week.

Good afternoon. It was another wet week around here, although there are a couple of spots that did miss the rains on Tuesday night into Wednesday. There was a little bit of planting activity in those areas last evening.
