Grandaddy has gone, but the old soybean tickets remain. I just couldn’t part with these yet and will take the time to look thru them this harvest. What are the old treasures that you just had to hold onto when you lost a loved one who farmed?

@BryanBiegs I was impressed. That basket weave is challenging for any cake decorator. So many great projects at the fair this year! Do your kiddos have anything going to MN State Fair?

@CarahHart A lot of detail in that cake

A wonderful #MoStateFair this year.

Rounds of storms are expected to continue on Sunday. Multiple instances of flash flooding are likely, especially if torrential downpours occur in urban or poor-drainage areas susceptible to runoff. Isolated severe weather is also possible, but is a lower threat versus flooding.
