“Thunder Makes the Noise but Lightning Does the W≠ork”, the song sung by Chad Brock speaks to the topic of today.  Thunder is loud and sometimes very scary, but other than rattling the house, it is not dangerous.  It’s the lightning that needs to be taken seriously as the “lightning does the work”.

An alternative use for that wheat is as a forage crop, silage or hay, which may still have considerable value at a time when pasture grazing prospects and hay supplies may be uncertain.
