Mother Nature Gives more moisture

Last night Blue Hill again recieved a generous amount of rain. Some gauges measured it in excess of 2 inches which fell in a very short period of time. Roads adjacent to bridges North of Blue Hill were covered with water. As one traveled south the amount of rain was less. Those living 10 to 12 miles south of town received very little rain. Fields are very green and farm ponds are full. Some wheat fields have been damaged by the excessive moisture, while others remain in fair condition. Wheat harvest has begun, with some combines running yesterday before the latest rain but some fields will not be ready for another week. At this time it appears that some fields will be ripe and ready to harvest before the ground is dry enough to carry the combines.
