I was looking at the weather records for Sept. last week. It struck me as odd that the record high and low for Sept. where both in 1984.
I remember it being cold in 1984. The corn was planted late and much of it was still green at the end of Sept. So when it hit 29 degrees on the 29th it froze a lot of the corn. It locked it in at the moisture it was then. Which was in the high 20s-low 30s for moisture. The corn just would not dry down in the field and it was a bear in bins. Low test weights and poor storing made it a rough year.
I did not remember that Sept. 1st was the hottest day of that summer at 97 degrees. The spring of 1984 was cool and wet. I did not really remember any real hot days.
It just stuck me as odd for the two records to be in the same year.
I am wondering if we may set some records this year?? It is Cool and raining here. Saturday morning it is supposed to be 40 degrees. That is not far from frost in the low spots.
What are you fellows up in northern MN looking at for low temperatures????
Also next week there are Ember days. 17,19,& 20th. It usually is cool and wet on those days. Poor days to harvest on usually. Crops don't store as well harvested on Ember days.
We have been getting slow steady rain tonight. This is on top of slow steady rain last night. I has an 1" and 4 this as of this morning. Are we looking at a wet fall harvest??? We wanted to start chopping later this week but it is way too soft in the fields to even think about it.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
