Are unplowed and the winter wheat is already 24 inches tall.

All the fields that were soy or corn last year are covered with golden rod and black eyed Susan's right now. Which looks pretty while you drive by but adds a shit ton of pollen to my day.

Add in all the mold from the non stop wetness and southern Illinois is not the place to be if you get hay fever
