[QUOTE="Rough'n'Ready Plantation, post: 223473, member: 3216"] Hey yall, I'm from Northwest Louisiana, and we went through an awful drought last year. It is looking like we will be going through another bad drought this summer as the highs are in the 90's now with no chance of rain for the next 10 days and it has been one month since we had a big rain. :mad: Last summer we were able to buy hay from another farmer to feed our cows, but now the hay supply in the Arklatex is exhausted because everyone used their surplus hay last summer and last winter when the ryegrass didn't come up .
