Morning had meeting at Extension Office. Food hub planning with Extension Director and Food Security manager. Left for farms at noon.
Returned from the farms. Everything looks great. Now tin blown off of the big old packhouse. One plastic chair under the shelter had blown over. The stack of them next to it had not. All AOK. Campers too. Tobacco crop was massive. Primed one time or more. Soybeans [in smaller fields look great]. Sandy loam soil so could drive around fields. GlasStar Plus sprayed last trip had worked. Lots of fire ants up as water runs them up. I've seen big thunderstorms cause more wind damage. Crops were NOT blown over.
Got home and a big thunderstorm had hit middle of the afternoon. 8/10" rain. Must have flood down as water did run through the tractor side of the shelter.
Ate a famous Parker Brothers Bar-b-q. Had pork bar-b-q, fried chicken, boiled potatoes. brunswick stew and cold slaw [yellow kind]. Lots of corn sticks and sweet ice tea.
