Drought declared over........

[Caustic Burno]

We got by-passed again (just enough to screw up haybaling) ....Next drought is probably already on it's way. Not that we are hurting right now, should be good hay baling weather the next 10 days...but missing this one is going to show on the pastures in a few days.

We got a total of 5 inches this week, we are pushing 30 inches rainfall to date. That is half our yearly total in 3 1/2 months. Like to got stuck this morning had to use the tractor to pull the goosneck in and load cows. But it could turn off tomorrow so I ain't complaining.

Drought started here again on Friday. Yesterday it actually got clear up to 76. I am enjoying every glorious ray of sunshine. Monsoon returns again on Wednesday and Thursday. But it look like semi dry weather for this coming weekend.

It's not looking good. No tops available because everyone wanted to bale whatever they had and I hear the supply of spriggs is down too. Good sized cracks are already developing and the 40% chance of rain predicted for early next week has already vanished. Good thing we had some Spring rains to at least bale enough hay to get us through fro a while!

Looks pretty good for us too. We got a good rain 2 weeks ago but after it was over we had a week straight of 25 mph winds. Dried us out quick. Looks like it hasn't rained in 2 months. :bang:

I don't know...May and June...minus 20% from normal on precip and 3 degrees hotter than normal doesn't look all that great. Going into Fall starts to look better.
