We have had no significant rain for months. Yard grass is brown and have not had to mow it for a month. Our wildlife food plots composed of radishes, turnips, pumpkins and clover has mostly died, while the soybeans and alfalfa are stunted. Oak trees are developing acorns and there is a small mature chokecherry crop present now. Juneberries did not produce due to dryness.
Pastures are also brown and low areas/swamps are dry. Noticed a mostly mature soybean field with leaves curled and turning a greenish grey color. Fortunately small grains have been harvested. It is raining in other parts of Minnesota today farther south, but we are again not getting any precipitation.
