I suppose things could be worse than a little water standing in your field. However, an active bunch of storm systems has certainly made it wet around the midwest. This is a field near my house. When I flew in to St. Louis yesterday some of the nearby fields looked like lakes.

I’ve got one project pending since the conditions in north central Missouri haven’t been real conducive to planting soybeans yet. It’s not looking like that’s going to change in the next couple days.

I guess the extent of planting for corn or soybeans is pretty mixed right now around the country. The southeast is dry the upper midwest is wet.

One thing this weather also affects is flying. How many of you have had weather problems with flights lately?

A strong band of thunderstorms also interfered with my bike ride today too. These pics are actually from the Katy Trail. I didn’t get too far though. There’s just something about lighting and being on a metal frame that bothers me.
