Nice Rains for Summer Growth
The Kensington area received 2.50 to 3
inches of rain in thunderstorms last
Tuesday night and Wednesday to give the
crops moisture and a growth spurt to get
through the summer heat the remainder of
the week. The corn is as "high as an
elephant's eye", the milo is lush, and
the soybeans are blooming. It was a nice
cool weekend with temps in the 80's for
a lot of summer activities.
