[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 988422, member: 18945"] That sounds like E Texas 2012. No fall rain--didn't start getting any till Jan 2103. We had bad bad drought 2011 that lasted till late fall. Got big rains the following late Feb March time period,and a good part of mine was underwater for 1 1/2 days in March so I know a lot soaked in, but the April/may grass didn't do as much as previous years. WEEDS tho, (goatweed and dog fennel) came on like gangbusters in 2012 all thru spring and summer from the Gulf Coast to the Red River. Yes I know--E Texas isn't the same as your area. People that had good and well maintained fields tho, had bumper crops of hay all along that same 100 mile wide corridor stretching the length of E Texas in 2012--where there was NO hay in 2011. That, is how fast it can turn. You just never know Steve, and it's a crapshoot following a drought, trying to keep ahead of it. [/QUOTE]
