It has been pretty lively around Prairie Drifter Farm the last two weeks. After 3.5 inches of rain 10 days ago, the weather forecast has been continually calling for a 70% chance of rain. We have been actively working to get things done before that 70% came down upon us. However, the 70% just kept getting pushed back a day, so we kept working like it was going to rain. Well it has not rained; it must have just missed us because everyone around us got rain during the last few days. So we have been able to get a lot of planting and a lot of weeding/cultivating done. Things on the farm are looking good. Everyone could use a little sunshine and warm weather to perk them up, especially the farmers!
