| Sep-11-09 - Good news from the west side of Saginaw Bay - Nayanquing Point's crop conditions for the most part are in great shape the only area I seen that was a little suspect was area 9. The water levels on the Bay remain above last years level so field flooding should not become an issue. | Click
