My ragweed it starting to die off..Had a good crop last year,12/14 ft tall and bases big as my wrist...all my grassburs are wilting too--the grasshoppers and fire ants are doing well tho,now to find a use for all these things :) ;)
 
You need a fire ant collection system. Then after they're collected you could chop the ragweed and put the ants and the ragweed into a TMR mixer and have an appetizing ration. Of course you would want to check with the local Ex. office to see what the feed value of fire ants are.


Seriously, we are pretty dry here too, corn has no ears and is drying quicker than anybody can get it all chopped and forget about combineing it, it's not gonna make it that far before it all looks like tall raisins.

Insects are mostly protein, so no need for buckets!
 
This is no lie...neighbor saw one of her goldfish with a fireant on it's back. The fish lay on the bottom of the tank for a month before it recovered enough to swim,but had a kink in it's back .

It's not nearly that bad in Summers & Raleigh Co WV - it was actually muddy around our mineral feeders yesterday. We've been getting a lot of pop up showers in the afternoon. The bad part is after the rain the temp goes sky high and the humidity is nasty.
