[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 622222, member: 9"] We haven't had any rain since November 20. Everything around here very dry...humidity been in 10 to 15% range. Lots of dry grass around...pray there are no wildfires! We have well water to keep our metal stock tanks filled and do little watering (to keep our few trees and some small pen areas "alive"). Planted ryegrass last fall...started to come up...all it needs is water. Been in 70's here past few days, very unusual for January. No rain in sight for next 10 days. Been feeding 14% bermuda hay for months now. NOAA Drought Index shows serious severe drought forcasts thru April, 2009. More "likely development" categories are expanding. Way things are going, State of Texas (except extreme NE area of State) will probably be widespread drought. In our area, farmers been busily discing their cotton stubble. Lot of disturbed ground (sandy soil) around. Occasional patches of winter wheat about 6" tall, but other patches probably in 3-4" height and beginning to show stress from drought. Wheat should be 2X as tall by now. Things are getting real scarry! :help: [/QUOTE]
