When we first got married my wife did a lot of the seeding as I worked in nh3 delivery and left early and came home late.

That was before cell phones.

Some of the older neighbors used to come over to see if she needed help.

She may have been a better operater than me but never liked the stress.

To be honest, the wife and I work good together. It's the boys in 5-10 years that I'm worried about.

Gonna be a lot of "teachable" moments there... just depends on whether I'm a decent teacher, and perhaps, moreso whether they have a desire to learn or not.

12mm rain total in the last 3.5 months here, fields are thinning out fast.

Im seeing long term seasonal forecasts that don't look particularly favorable... We have a decent start here, although it's going to be late, but it looks like from here on in is likely to be drier and warmer biased till fall.

What part of the world are you in?

[Taiga]

Peace region, driest part of the Canadian prairies this year.
