Rural musings on crops and plants near Rossman Lake
A rural tour reports healthy crop growth after a tough spring with delayed seeding and floods. It notes good rains, the limited wild fruit yield due to blossom winds, and strong hay and late summer tourist activity at Rossman Lake. The piece reflects on dairy shifts from local creameries to large regional plants and recalls old shipping routes, ending with a July Olha School Reunion reminder.
