A new crop year has arrived … In our area, corn is breaking through the soil … Long rows of green corn, maybe a couple of inches tall … The first proof of a new crop year…
Traveling through a nearby county yesterday … Tractors with folks riding behind, ever so slow … dropping plants … maybe sweet potatoes, think it must be too early for tobacco plants … The new crop year has arrived in some areas…
I thought back humpteen years ago of farmers with much less equipment, taking a chance on a new crop year after year…
Farmers must be among the biggest gamblers of all … among us … Too much rain, not enough rain … Trusting souls…
Another shooting, the latest in Atlanta, Ga. A suspect was arrested shortly before midnight last night … after a nearly 8 hour search…
Buying a new house will cost a little more … Interest rate climbed a quarter of a percent yesterday. Fed officials continue efforts to slow or halt inflation…
Late night viewers expected to see more reruns … Film and TV writers on strike as of midnight last night … first such strike in many years.
Never a dull moment…
Local government officials busy working on budgets for the coming fiscal year … Most effective July 1.
