Did everyone (except some parts of Indiana) remember to set their clocks back? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

To the abstract...
Did we just see an hour of our lives vaporize or did we get right again?  ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2331&sort=&pagenum=12&yrstart=1986&yrend=1990" rel="nofollow - 1988 BFN-sold "It's a Livin' Thing...What a Terrible Thing to Lose" ELO |

Gary,
I think there's still one county in Indiana that still doesn't follow daylight savings! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Yes Indiana stopped the non-sense back in 2006. Pete, all of Indiana now observes DST, however, there are several counties in the northwest and southwest corners that are on Central time, the rest is Eastern time. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |

Yeah Pete, I did. Kim and I kept it a secret too as we had a house full of young teenage girls spend the night on Sat. We didn't dare tell em' they had an extra hour to stay up!
Secondly, I hate the time change. It's still warm enough that I might be able to get a run or two in before it gets cold done here in Georgia. Upper 60's all week and sunny. It sucks that it's getting dark at 5:30.  ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski. He can wakeboard.He can cook chicken.He can create his own self-named beverage, & can also apparently fly.

With GPS tractors and combines (that can run through the night during harvest), is there really a need for daylight savings anymore? ------------- |

Having grown up on a farm, I can confirm this other invention that tractors and combines have that allow night time operation....lights!
Seriously though, most farmers totally dislike DST. A big issue with harvesting is dew. With DST, farmers will have to wait even later in the day to allow the dew to dry off to start harvesting. This is mostly an issue with soybeans. I love DST. Gives more opportunity to hit the lake after work. Being in Indiana, on the complete western end of the Eastern time zone, it is still light enough to ski past 9 for the majority of summer. ------------- Craig 67 SN 73 SN http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=6103" rel="nofollow - 99 Sport 85SN |

With all this rain, and people not getting in as early as usual. The standing water is more of an issue this year. Moisture content is terribly high. I'v heard alot of talk lately about harvesting lasting into Dec. this year. ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=3721&sort=&pagenum=6&yrstart=1982&yrend=1982" rel="nofollow - My Blue 82 SOLD! |

Yeah my parents' corn has been around 30% moisture so far, ideally you want 15%. The corn is so wet/mushy that it is getting damaged during the harvest.
