I remember once back in the 60's where my parents had the most bountiful year ever. Still didn't end up really making any money but boy did we have massive amounts of tomatoes, peppers and other stuff to haul to market. Had to borrow trucks to get it all there in less trips.
Can't remember how the weather was but I know everything grew like crazy!

Yes,it was back in the 80s,but I don't recall just exactly what year. It was dry as a popcorn f@rt in just the next county south of here,but we had an inch of rain every 9 days just as regular as clockwork all summer. You could write it on the calendar before it even happened.

Dad always said a normal year is just the average of 10 abnormal ones. Never saw a perfect year, probably never will.
In 1992 we where living on my in-laws farm in southern Ohio. It rained just about an inch each week not too much but just enough. You could not have irrigated for better crops. We had second crop timothy that was yielding a hundred small squares an acre. Had several fields of corn go over two hundred, that was fifty bushels better than normal there. Had two tomato plants that gave more than we could eat.
We lived there for four years helping out because my father-in-law was very ill before he passed on. We never had another year that great. Back here in Iowa my brother was watching my place and it was too dry that year. Then in 1993 we had floods here in Iowa.
I think there are dry and wet areas every year. Just luck of the draw where you are.
