We have a strange line in the sand this year, NW Minnesota and Eastern North Dakota are running 
3-6 inches of precip above average. The SE portion of Mn and Western Wisconsin is 3-6 inches below 
average. 

I'm located on the drier side of the line and we're just finishing up with a boomer basswood crop 
averaging 60-80 pounds. 

Our mid summer Sweet Clover flow comes next into the 20 or so of July. Eastern North Dakota should 
see a potentially big year with ample moisture and reasonable temps in the upper 70's-80's in the 
long term outlook for the main honey flow during July.  Last year the Dakota's burned up during a 
hot dry summer and many locations were a bust.
