front page farm

Amidst floods and tornadoes, somehow our little farm made the front page of the Exeter Newsletter today! Actually it was taken two Fridays ago, right before things got really insane weatherwise in New Hampshire. When foul weather strikes, farmers in particular are hit with the stark reality that there just isn't one umbrella big enough to cover the field when the torrents and pea-sized hail come down. Fortunately our crops survived the rain and high winds. Though many were completely submerged on Mother's Day, it looks as though things are going to dry out. Hopefully.
