The first week in July is pretty predictable for wheat harvest. Fall harvest of corn and soybeans is less predictable, but usually runs through October.
BTW, the columnist, George Will, had a piece on the Children's Blizzard a few years ago. The girl, Lena, who lost both feet to frostbite is supposed to be buried in one of two cemetaries within two miles of my house. Only I've never been able to find a grave that matches. I believe they used the last name, "Woebbecke" in the book, but as I recall she was an orphan, then had a couple of sets of foster parents, then got married, so the last name she was buried under is not clear.
George Will said, I believe, she was buried in a cemetary a mile south of Ruby, NE, but I have reason to believe she may have been buried in a different cemetary, a mile from my house. I live a mile east of Ruby.
Actually, the entire town of Ruby consists of a grain elevator, a township hall where we go to vote, and a house the elevator owns and rents to an employee. From what I hear, it was a thriving town a hundred years ago.
I'd like to see more of the Nebraska Sandhills, myself. I once had a fellow work for me who had a daughter and son-in-law who ranched near Valentine, NE. From their house on the ranch, the closest place they could buy a hamburger was 42 miles away. Population density of Arthur County, NE is 2.1 square miles per person, not the other way around as is usual.
Enough rambling. I hope I answered a few questions.
