The weather finally cooperated this past week, and farmers were able to get a good start on planting, even though it was later than the past few year. A lot of corn was planted this week, and the rain on Thursday night will definitely help the fields that are finished. According to the National Weather Service, after the cold front passes through this Saturday, we will get a quick shot of cold air Sunday into Monday. There is a chance of frost on Monday and some of the low lying areas could even see temperatures around 32F for a late season minor freeze. Temperatures this coming week will rebound though — normal highs are 65-73F from north to south and lows near 45. Much of the week will be dry allowing for more planting to resume.

Junior Fair 4-H entries were due in our office yesterday for the Delaware County Fair which starts Sept. 15 and runs through Sept. 22. This is always a great time as we get to see all of the hard work that our county’s 4-H’ers have put in to their various projects over the past few months. So be sure to come to the fair and support our kids this year; go to some of the many Junior Fair livestock shows, go through the barns and the Junior Fair Building to see all the exhibits and much more.

It looks like we will be getting a break from this heat next week. Hopefully some of the scattered rain will come our way. The National Weather Service has been calling for a warmer and drier than average August, but I hope they are wrong and we get some much needed rain.
OK, I think we have all had enough of the 100-degree temperatures. I know this heat and humidity has been tough on the livestock. Be sure to keep a close watch on all livestock while this heat stays around. Make sure they access to have shade, good ventilation and a sufficient quantity of water.
Workshop: OSU Extension is offering a workshop from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, July 20, titled “The Woods In Your Backyard.”
We have seen such a switch from last spring where we were waiting for the rain to subside so we could get the crops in the ground. Now, one year later, we are waiting for the rain to come! This week-end looks to be a scorcher and the National Weather Service is calling for temperatures to average 3 to 5 degrees above normal the next two weeks taking us into early June. Normal temperatures are highs in the mid to upper 70s and lows in the 50s. They are calling for lots of 80s for highs with a few days of 90s and 70s over the next two weeks.
