Golden wheat in Idaho
Becky: It rained so hard on the way here that the wheat, which was ready for harvest, got flattened.
Stacey: It's when it hails that the crops get destroyed. They'll bounce back from the rain.
Such a casually normal Midwestern exchange, informed about how things grow. I don't think anything about farming is part of my New York world. People here think it's odd that when it rains I automatically say: "good for the farmers."
Stacey also told of driving past a field of sunflowers, & someone asking: why would they plant flowers?
