[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 168805, member: 3162"] It rained an inch and a half at the house but only half of that down on the pastures, 20 miles away or so. Locally, we have broken all records. I'll have to get pictures of dead cactus and post them. It is really that bad. Perhaps it will be a good year to wipe out Misquites and other brush. We'll be fine at some point. There are several things in our favor including that fact that this drought is localized. If it was as widespread as it was in the 80's, our cows would be worthless. There are a lot of lessons learned. #1 I sold excellent hay in June and am paying three times as much now for average hay. That won't happen again. I planted lots of wheat and oats and pretty much lost it all. Next time I will irrigate. I just didn't think it could possibly go on for as long as it has. [/QUOTE]
