Farmer’s Candy Combine Showers Parade Goers with Sweets
A Minnesota farmer repurposed his combine into a child’s dream come true — a combine that rapidly dispenses candy at local parades. We want to see pictures of anyone who tries this out at their own local Fourth of July parade!

Sanborn, N.Y., grower Bob Milleville tweeted out this picture of his strip-tilled corn, which appears to be holding up OK despite abnormally dry conditions. The advantages of strip-till in a drought are well documented — we put together a list of articles and resources to help strip-tillers navigate drought conditions.

A Prayer for Rain
This prayer from the 1950s was written during a severe drought in Texas. The prayer is making the rounds on Facebook, and hopefully that means rain will be on the way soon!
