Took the boy to Waubay yesterday up 281 over 12 and back down 29 and over 46.Passed four new train loaders built in last  two years and know of two more that are being built within thirty miles of rought.

281 looks mostly good half way up did see water from a rain standin in the feild.  Every  field was planted which was a change from last two years showing how dry it might be.

12 East of Abredeen looked good everything planted ,shows just how dry its been.No curling and good color but this was right at 12.00,

29 South mostly the same

46 West was looking tough most fields were showing drought stress even east of 81 which is not common.

Most parts will need a rain this week to keep ave if that don't happen will shorten up in a hurry.This was tour was taken 70 /80 mph so take that in to consideration.
