Last year the OG was about 110% of normal, fescue was around 10%. And of course we only have one small field of straight OG. The drought pretty well took care of the OG so this year we're looking at may be 50% for OG and around 75% from the fescue, if any of it drys enough to not put up as pure crap.
The drought maybe broken in some folks minds, but they're not looking at the big picture. Normal or even above normal rainfall for a year or 2 isn't really enough to completely mitigate the damage done.
Ponds fill when we hae the excess rain like we've had the past couple of months, but after a week they drop down to below pre-drought heights that were considered normal 6-7 years ago before the last long term drought.
Droughts are like icebergs. You only see the obvious damage but the long term and more serious affects are below the surface.
Sorry to get preachy
