We have not done much tilling lately because of the drought, but when we do it looks like the dust bowl.

Parsnip seed heads still shaped like the bin they were dumped out of.

Our second pond is almost empty. Earlier this week I compared rain totals from May 1 - mid August 2020 (an extremely dry growing season) to the same period this year. The results: 2020: ~9 inches. 

2022: ~8 inches. This is definitely the driest year we have had in our 20 years of farming.
