Farmers in the area busy with planting and cutting
Durham correspondent
The farmers are all quite busy with fall work of planting wheat, and a few are cutting beans and a little milo. It will be a long time until all the milo is ripe enough to cut. The early drought and the late rains have made the milo to head very unevenly and some not at all until after the rains. We are having beautiful fall weather, and the wild flowers are claiming a lot of beauty and everything has turned so nice and green.
