      I have never seen frost as early as Aug 5.
      The earliest frost that I remember was in 1974, we had a bumper crop in the field, we were 2 years into farming and a son was due in 5 days. On Aug 13, we had a down pour of more than 5 inches, then frost on August 15 and the crop smelt like sour cabbage. We survived the feed samples but those who kept their bins locked sold their durum for #2 and 3 the next year.

                  Other than MAYBE land/machinery payments, very little debt was incurred in growing a crop incomparison to today.

                  We're in different times.

                    Not really, i remember dad saying there was no money around back then ( 50's, 60's ) land and machinery were very tough to pay off back then too.
