The rain everyone around us is getting over the past few weeks has really seemed to be missing Appling County with only a few places here and there receiving just a few tenths. We have a good chance for rain tomorrow and I pray we get it as it is much needed to finish out…

Fields are still a little wet after the big rain on June 19th that came across south Georgia. South of Baxley received anywhere from 5-10″ of rain and north of Baxley received anywhere between 3-5″ of rain.

Planting has come to a wrap and cotton/peanut stands are looking really good overall.

It is also not too long until it is time to…
