[QUOTE="Frankie, post: 164760, member: 13"] The wildfires are what has us most concerned now; it'll rain sometime, always has. Last week we sat down at the dinner table and realized our yard was full of smoke. We got very excited, grabbed the water hoses and started watering down the hay bales. As it turned out, the wind had just shifted and was blowing smoke in from the Marlow fire, about 20 miles NW. At the same time, there was another big fire about 15 miles due east. I think we're kidding ourselves with the water hose and the hay, but you feel like you've got to do something if one of those fires comes this way. Our local volunteer fire departments are about broke. Though the Feds have promised some disaster money, no one has seen it yet. The fires been very bad; lots of people have lost all their hay and grass. The weatherman says we've been without measurable rain for 90 days now. They're giving us a 20% chance tomorrow. By the time you add in 30 mph winds and 70-75 degree temperatures, we're setting on a powerkeg in this part of the country. I'm very concerned about how it will affect bull prices this spring.
