Two workers are getting ready to disk the wheat field with the tractor and irrigate the cotton. Betancourt has been monitoring the temperature.</p><p>&quot;It was 86 when you drove up and the forecast for Fresno is 99,&quot; he says. &quot;It&#39;s usually a little cooler out here. We&#39;ve kinda done the heavy lifting for the day already.&quot;</p> Wed, 27 Jul 2011 02:55:42 +0000 Shellie Branco 718 at http://kvpr.org
