Soon we could have a drought

[dun]

Same thing here the storms seem to split and go around us or follow a track just to the east or west of us.It did rain this evening for maybe 2-3 minutes and barely wet the grass but that's better than nothing.

It's almost like you live in my house. 2 miles east and west are getting good rains, it just splits here.

Quit doing the Moses deal and parting the waters

Talked to a cousin yesterday, and they got out of their bean contracts a few weeks ago, and if they had waited a week, it would have been double to get out of. He said they still have corn in the planter because they couldn't get any in the ground since it was so hard.

We got SO dry, SO fast here. Last few evenings, we've had thunder, light show, but not much rain. Tonight, we have same thunder and lights, but are getting a pretty good soaking for the last 1/2 hour. Hope it continues for awhile, but the clouds don't look that heavy.

That's kinda what we get here in central Texas. My pasture's spiderwebbed with 2-inch cracks. But we'll get a sky full of big, black, ugly clouds, thunder and lightning like it was doomsday, and finally it will rain cats and dogs for a while. The next day, it's dry and dusty like nothing happened. Sigh.....

Didn't last long here. Another squall came through yesterday. Little rain here at home, but it was running down the streets in town like a stream, with river flood warnings. Forecast for quite awhile now is dry.

Mother Natures sub-soiler....in additon, when you do finally get that hour long 4 inch rain it will run in the cracks and not down to the creek....but that's about all I can say that is positive about them.

I had that last year all over, including in my yard by the house. One day, while trying to save the rose bushes in the yard, I just laid the hose end down in one of those big cracks and decided to see just how long it would take to fill it up. I gave up after 2 1/2 hours. Long wide and evidently--deep.

I left Friday for NE Texas (New Boston/Wright Patman) and saw lots of hay stacked and lots more ready, but man, I was really kinda shocked to see so many big fields of tall goatweed. I think drought conditions are condusive to it's growth the following year when the rains do come.

I bought 6 Hypo-hatchet complete herbicide injection sets for less than $25 each from a place in Jefferson. They are over $300 new, so if only one of them is good, I'm ahead of the game. As soon as I check 'em out, I'm gonna go kill some trees,

most hay meadows are coming back heavy in weeds after the 1st cutting.i guess because the grass just isnt there right now.several places ive seen cut came back in weeds.

Haven't been on for awhile but we've been feeding hay since June here. We received and inch of rain last week and 2 1/2" total since the first of June. There a little grain on the corn at the bottom of the hill and the few ears that have corn on them will fall to the ground when they go to fall over. Farmers in this area are cutting CRP acres for forage this winter from what I've seen put up they would be better off to sell the cattle than to see them starve to death eating that crap.
