There is a big corn crop, still very
green and the heat is needed to ripen
it. The small grain is nearly all in

idly and get it into fine shape for
stacking. Minnesota has had very lit
tie hot weather this year. and it is for
tunate that the heat is coming now
rather than earlier in the season when
it might have shrive1ed or stunted the
small grain.
