Drought Observations

[bird dog]

Gonna take a pretty good rain before we get any run off.

Wow!
That's a crack.

 

[Brute 23]

That sucker might be drying yall out from the bottom up.

Just a few around the yard.

 

[jamiesf]

Not going to be a need to aerate this fall for sure.

 

[cfpinz]

If you stick a yardstick in there, how deep does it go?

I'd be concerned with stock getting their legs caught.

 

[Mrcopier]

Can you see China?

Long and straight. Matching trail on the right.
Where you sprayed round up along a hot fence. ?

Unable to find the picture, but in 2011 I had one go 4 ft. before a tape measure stopped.

September 2008

It was 3 foot and not 4, and was 2008 not 2011.

Its just a cow trail. Leads off a slight hill down towards a pond. They start a second trail when the first one tough to travel on. I didn't measure these but I grabbed a stick about four foot long on one the other day and it dropped out of sight.
cfpinz-- the cows and calves try to avoid them but its a nuisance when pushing them and they get nervous. They stumble through them. I saw a baby calf step in one last week and went down over his knee. I guess it happens regularly as they pop up and keep going like nothing happened.

Mrcopier-- I wish I would see some bubbling crude come flowing out like Jed Clampett.

Trees are suffering along with the rest of us.

Yes, we have 1000s of dead trees in E Texas

 

[Texas G@l]

no pics but we're seeing cracks where we've haven't seen any in the previous 30 + years!!

 

[Brute 23]

Our ground is not that black to crack. Usually that land is farmed. Cattle land usually hardens up due to clay or blows away because it's sandy.

 

[1982vett]

Another from 2008


Can't really see the crack, but it swallowed the t-post.

 

[bird dog]

When their is not much of the regular stuff to eat, one must improvise.
