It was both @001 and dry for farmers, and the land worked out fine and the farmers made good use of it. There was a lot of seed sown. We would be safe to say as much as ever was sown in the same time. Some of our farmers are through seeding, while others have a lot to do yet. the most of them will wind up this week, with the exception of roots.
