Farmers report renewed labor after late rains hoping for corn and taters yield while wheat, oats, and grass suffer from dry weather and chintz bug infestations. Apple and blackberry supplies are scarce but wool trades decline as notable clips by Vorhes, Blake Brothers, Hib bard, and others stand out.
