PRESCOTT – As I have been driving around the country the past week, I've noticed something. My grandpa used to comment that the corn would be "knee high by the 4th of July.” And yes, I was raised on a farm! Well the corn around this area is well over knee high! So the early summer rain has really done a great job. It's always been very refreshing to me to take a drive and enjoy the crops whether it's the oats, soybeans, hay fields or the corn. Just like the Sunday drives as a child that we took as my dad surveyed the area crops. Nature is very therapeutic!
