Ever since Sara and Ryan moved to Virginia in 2010 I have wanted to spend a week of vacation enjoying the history and natural beauty of their part of Virginia. Since then there’s been a number of visits but finally this June I was able to spend a whole week and start to get acquainted with Shenandoah.
In my cross-country seven state sojourn on a Saturday in early June, I could only recall seeing two farmers out working in their fields. Listening to Orion Samuelson’s early morning farm show on WGN radio, I heard that farmers are facing a tough summer with rain, flooding, and a tariff-war drying up overseas markets. I did see a lot of standing water in many midwest farm fields. It’s going to be a tough year.
