This week I assisted with a non-wireless watermark sensor installation to a data logger with a new cooperator who had ordered soil moisture sensors from the Lower Big Blue NRD. Usually in chest high corn it’s really hard to install the sensors. Not this year. The sensors were easily installed one foot, two feet and three feet deep in the soil. Here we are on July 2 with essentially a full soil profile of moisture for our crops. I haven’t seen that the first part of July for quite some time. That will be the ace in the hole for our dryland crops this year during tassel and silking on corn.

Natural disasters, such as the recent severe storms and flooding in Nebraska, often lead to extreme stress for families. It is common for people to feel irritable, anxious, helpless and overwhelmed. Tempers may flare during times of stress, affecting relationships in the family. You may feel that you are losing not only material things, but also the support of your family as well.
Problems between couples are typical during times of great stress. No two people are likely to have the same reaction to a situation, so it is not surprising that tension may result from their differing reactions.
