Very Hot Summer

Here in Japan it continued to be very hot around 35c up until 20 September this year. We slept very badly over a month. The temperature rarely went down to 30c even at night. Agriculture has  received a severe blow. In some areas and some crops seriously damaged.
 Near here soybeans are damaged seriously. But the heat benefitted some kinds of soybeans.
 In my 1 hectare farm , some are good and others bad.
 I grew about 20 kinds. Half of them are not that good, but the others very good. My experimental way of farming is not sustainable economically but it will give me  important informations of sustainability of soya farming.
 It doesn't necessarily come to a conclusion that the heat is the only factor for bad crops in my "special " farms. I never use agri chemicals nor man-made organic fertilizers. Only fallen leaves and threshed hulls etc. Certain grasses grow symbiotically in my farm.

 In one sense this year is a predicament but it also give me a hint of sustainability of  consecutive soya farming  every year.

 My work with cassette walkman or IC recorder is a lot of fun.
 It'a pinacle of  working time of my life.
