The country side has taken on a very different look than it had 30 days ago. It has gone from a patch work of browns and greens to a patch work made up of yellow fields of canola, light golden fields of ripening barley, green fields of wheat heading out and the pastures have gone from a dark lush green to an light green to tan color due to the grasses heading out. The farmers are swathing hay in the fields and along the road ditches. We continue to get more than normal amounts of rain every week making for the prospect of bumper crop yields this harvest season. In another 3 weeks or so they will be harvesting the canola, barley and wheat.
