The road grader didn't make it past my parent's farm for a long time one
summer. A corn plant managed to grow and tassel on the road before the
grader got it. It was a bit surprising it managed to grow on a gravel road.

Definitely must rain there more than here...

Although they will certainly "weed over" pretty quickly if not enough
traffic and maintenance, indeed. This road now unfortunately has been
cut through on east and south into OK so it's a bypass route from town
to down that way that didn't used to be. That puts a lot more traffic
on it than was years ago -- plus the trucks heading to/from the
commercial feedlot east come down this one to avoid the long light at
the corner a mile north even though that way is all paved. They keep it
pretty well torn up...
