Next edition Nov 28th – Dec 4th
Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news.
Mostly sunny mild weather last week enabled many area farmers to get most of their corn crop picked and field work done although it will probably take another week or so for everybody in this area to finish up; that is if the weather stays semi-decent. I rode with my neighbor for a while on Fri. He said moisture levels were still about 25%; they had not figured out the yields yet but it looked good and considering the crazy growing season we had this year they were just glad to get a crop.
STJ/KONG PARISH NEWS The parish is collecting items for the food shelf during the months of Nov and Dec. Non perishable items may be left in the shopping cart located in the narthex of both churches. There will also be a cap and mitten tree in the narthex of both churches for the SA.

An all day rain on Fri put a temporary halt to corn picking for a few days but sunny mild weather the rest of week has enabled farmers to make rapid progress in getting their corn crop out. It has not dried out much moisture levels are holding fairly steady at about 25% according to my neighbor. There are still a few bean fields left to be picked but given the weather forecast I would suspect that most farmers should be done with most of their fall field work in time to enjoy Thanksgiving.

Next edition Nov 7th – Nov 13th
Welcome to another edition of the Donnelly news. Please note that I have a new cell # 320-287-1219.
As I was finishing my column last week it started to rain again which then turned to snow on Fri. This week started out promising with several days of sunshine but then it rained again on Tue. The forecast calls for sunny warm days this weekend hopefully it will come true. Some farmers were able to take advantage of the nice weather to get some beans and corn out but progress has been very slow. A neighbor said some of the corn they picked was about 28%. I talked to a friend who raises cattle and it has been hard on them too dealing with all the mud in the feedlots. He said they were fortunate as they can chop a lot of their corn.
STJ/KONG PARISH NEWS: St J beef supper is Nov 10th at the Donnelly hall from 4:30-8 pm

As I was finishing my column last week it started to rain again which then turned to snow on Fri. This week started out promising with several days of sunshine but then it rained again on Tue. The forecast calls for sunny warm days this weekend hopefully it will come true. Some farmers were able to take advantage of the nice weather to get some beans and corn out but progress has been very slow. A neighbor said some of the corn they picked was about 28%. I talked to a friend who raises cattle and it has been hard on them too dealing with all the mud in the feedlots. He said they were fortunate as they can chop a lot of their corn.
