Zero inches of rain this week, a trend that has farmers concerned. Second-earliest heatwave on record is wrapping up Day 8 today, with temps in the 90s and dew points around 65 -- oppressive without air conditioning. The corn is up; some fields have 8-10" plants. The black dirt, however, is dry gray crust. Lawn is green but needs deep watering weekly; same with shrubs and small trees. Local water bodies are lower than typical. Wildlife active, birds frequent the feeders. No white-tailed deer fawns have shown themselves yet, but in the next weeks we should see some. FIRST FIREFLY was seen last night. Mower County has moved into D1, moderate drought. No water restrictions at this time.
