More on Alabama Drought

Fellas, I keep watching the radar hoping ya'll are gonna get some rain. (I seem to be addicted to the radar these days.) I think it will be a long, long time before I complain about it raining, if ever. I saw a lot of scattered stuff across Bama yesterday and hoped you had gotten some of it. We finally got some decent rain here and it sure has made a difference. The bahia is growing like crazy.

Here's hoping you get rain soon - and plenty of it. :drink:

I have closed some gates. I am trying to keep the cows from killing all the grass and with having to feed hay anyway I call my self saving some pastures. I did walk the fences in the woods last week and opened the gates to the swamps to let them eat some sweetgum leaves.
I did get 2 tenths yesterday but it was dusty again by evening.

I figured you got a big soaking yesterday. :lol:

It rained us out of the hayfield 6-8 miles away, but not a drop here.

Don't you have a "Fella" hay cutter?

Not much rain yesterday but it did turn the hayfield green by dark.
I am cutting with a Morra cutter that is sold by Agra Supply.

Dought will absolutely take it's toll.. we just got out of a couple of years worth. It's totally depressing, and wears a person out. Gives you a lot of time to think about getting into another business! There are many producers down here that have not, and will not restock after selling off last year.

I feel for you guys...

I'm sitting here at my office window watching it rain like pouring pi$$ out of a boot just 1-2 miles from here.

Wind blew about 30-40 MPH just before the clouds skipped over us.

When it does rain here, just step out side.........you'll hear me screamin from where ever you are...
