Farmers in Hampton Roads have taken a big hit from the latest Nor'easter.  It came much too soon for them.  Not only did the rain flood the fields keeping the farmers from finishing the harvest but it also washed away the winter wheat crop for the area.  About the only plant that was done harvesting was the peanut.  Cotton and soybeans took a big hit.  The cotton falls out of the balls making the color decline and the wind beats the soy beans into the ground so they just rot.  The farmers are praying for a lot of sunshine in the next few weeks to help them out.

Gene, my family in western Virginia are telling me lots of stories about the rain. It was inconvenient for them, but is really serious for the farmers. I do pray they have lots of sunshine. BTW, how do you get the FB listing widget on your sidebar?

Gene,

So I guess this means peanut butter will be costing more this coming year....
