In other words, becoming more average.Things are never that perfect.

We finally got a break in the weather for a few days, with a huge jump in average daily temperatures. That was accompanied by wind in some areas, amplifying the soil drying effect.  Producers put their new GPS equipped planters to work 18 hours a day or more in some cases, and got a lot of seed in the ground.
