How is everyone doing? I’m sure everyone is a lot happier now than last month when there were many unplanted fields. Crops are really growing fast and looking good. Hopefully the weather gives us a few more breaks so the side dressing and spraying gets finished. There’s plenty to do after the farming is finished. The county fairs, festivals and tractor shows are going strong. Tractor pulls and tractor rides are just too much choose from here on through the Fall.

There are some important shows coming up this month. The I & I Historic Farm Days, Will County Threshermen’s Show, Kempton Days and the Kankakee County Fair. There’s a great tractor ride on July 27th at the Kickapoo State Park that you shouldn’t miss. Proceeds will be donated to the Vermillion Cancer Society. Further details and contact information can be found in the Green Sheet. I urge everyone to attend these events if possible.

The Will County Thresherman’s group can always use some help with the show, so, give them a call and see where you can be of assistance.

If you need an addition to your recipe files then please check out Mary’s Good News section of the Greensheet for a monthly treat.

Always remember to “Thank A Vet”. They continue to keep our country safe while we are enjoying life at a party or in our comfy home.

Please keep those who may be ill or mourning the loss of a loved one in your prayers. Too many times we get in a hurry or really busy and we forget to give a hug or say good bye. Remember this, next opportunity may never come. I’d like to say thank you to everyone for the hugs, kind words and thoughtfulness you expressed after the loss of my wife, Janet.

Sincerely,
Dave Wehrmann
