All these things must come to Grass, even on Mondays
Saturday rain helped keep the neighborhood green over the weekend. Oscar Bustamante was getting after it this morning, Monday, Sept. 20. at the offices of Onstott Broehl & Cyphers CPAs at 100 Fourth Street, The Dalles.
While refreshing, the rain was likely a bit frustrating for farmers. Joanne and David Brewer who farm east of The Dalles reported 0.2 to 0.3 inches of rain. Farmers would love to be able to seed into a solid inch of the stuff to ensure healthy germination. But alas, dryland wheat farming must take what Mother Nature is willing to give. Hopefully, she delivers after fall dips a toe in on the equinox on Wednesday.
On the upside, soft white wheat was still trading for $10 a bushel, about 40 percent more than a year ago this morning according to Mid-Columbia Producers website.
