Good morning, all. There's a rumor we might get rain later today. It's not even July and the grass is starting to get brown. :~(

Good morning! Wow! Well, let's hope that you get some rain today.

Yeah, the weather has been so lopsided this year. Up here we've gone from near-record snowfall to drought just in a few months. Not a lot of farming up here though, not like where you all are. Going to be a tough year for farmers. Was reading yesterday about a severe outbreak of "African swine fever" among the hog farms in China. They've already lost 20% of their animals. That means less need to import our beans.

They stopped buy soybeans from us already!

Not entirely, but this sure isn't going to help things any. Then there's the other countries, mostly European, who don't want our beans and corn because GMO.

[Aimée]

You're welcome! It certainly sounds like you do.

Good morning Aimee!

Good morning, RB! How are you? Can you believe it? Matt is now officially an 8th-grader.

Doing pretty good, thank you. And how are you doing?
Officially in 8th. grade! We're getting old, aren't we?
My parents always told me, the older you get, the faster
the time goes. They weren't kidding, were they?

Oh, good! I am glad to hear it! Yes, we're getting up there, aren't we? The time is just flying right by. They weren't kidding at all! Matt was just a toddler when I had started posting on Amazon. Hard to believe that he's a teenager now!
