The guys are making first cut hay in Ukraine. Max sent Garry some photos on Facebook messenger yesterday, but they seem to have disappeared (thanks for that encryption upgrade Meta). Found them still on his phone, even though they won't load on this computer. There's Andrey and Sasha in the barn with the hay. They are putting the hay in one of the Quonset barns, since the hay shed was destroyed by the tornado.
Two weeks ago they had a very late frost there, Max was showing the corn to Garry on a video call, to ask what he should do, but Garry thought it was going to be okay. Max said everyone's potato vines in the village were destroyed by the frost. It's also been very dry this spring, they had already put irrigation water on the cornfield twice.
