Coy's cousin, Tricia, was getting married today. Coy was waiting all day for the silage guys to come and they finally showed up 3 hours before the wedding. I was doubting if Coy would make it to the wedding because he had to get the silage crew set up. Once they got started, he came home and got ready. On the way from the ceremony to the reception, we brought Todd to watch the guys work. Todd loved the big trucks and the loud sound that the Claas choppers made.
Coy had to cut this for silage because of the drought. This was his fourth corn crop and the fourth year in row that we have been in a drought in June. Coy told me that this is his last year for corn. He also told me if he decided to plant corn again next year to punch him. It looks like from now on he's going to stick with wheat and maize. It was pretty dry early on in the year, and then we got some pretty decent rains later on. It seemed like it would be "the year of the corn", and Coy was very optimistic about it. However, at the end of May into June, we didn't get a drop of rain. It was over 100 degrees nearly every day and the wind was blowing up to 40 mph.
