[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1759169, member: 40587"] I hate it for everyone in these drought areas. Here, it thunderstorms 2 or 3 days a week, with sunny weather even during the day time rains. People are mowing their lawns every 4 days or so. And bushogging pastures that are carrying a lot of cattle. People have made a LOT of hay, which means hay prices were low in the field, so those who f grow hay to sell are gonna lose money. I remember in 1986 we had a drought. Quit raining in May and never rained again til Chistmas week. I started building my house Oct 1st, and had to drill holes to put up the batter boards. 42" auger never brought up moist earth. I finished the house 2nd week in December, and never got a drop of rain on it. There were groups of farmers form Texas, Missouri, and 2 more states that I can't remember, that sent trainloads of hay down here. I will be at a meeting with our Ag Com. this week, and I will ask Gary about how to go about returning the favor. Someone else may have already thought of this, If so, I will find out and post it here. [/QUOTE]
