The week of the 4th always seems to be the hottest week of the year and it sure felt like it this week with heat indexes up to 107°.

We have been working on the Farm Gate Value Report and wanted to make sure we accurately reflect how the recent disasters and conditions have impacted Tift County.

We still haven’t seen the aphid killing fungus that normally comes in and wipes out the aphid population. Hopefully, it and some rain will blow in soon. Pix and peanut herbicides are going out, some folks are getting their second hay cutting in, and I haven’t heard of anyone losing a finger to fireworks.
Happy Independence Day!!
I keep a folder of funny pictures and videos. Here are a few for Independence Day:
