Folks I so don't want to sound like chicken unlittle here. But I am starting to get early reports on the wheat crops of the Texas and south western Oklahoma and they are not looking too good. For those of you who might not be farmers or involved in the agriculture business. The ground needs to be moist at a depth of about 6 to 8 inches for the crop to mature. current reports are indicating that there is only and inch or 2 that is moist. The big water supply for eleven cities is at a record low of 28 feet. If anybody has more information to add plesae do so.

I wish there were more farmers. Farming is a very hard but rewarding profession. If I had land I would definitely grow my own food.

the Midwest went through a drought in 1988 and 2012. 2012's drought was not as bad as 1988's. it sure was freaking hot last summer. it gets that way in Africa every day, but they are
used to it over there.

It certainly has been a dry winter. I really pray that the rain that's up coming takes care of that dryness we're experiencing.

The farmers here in New Mexico are suffering. The lake that was built to supply the farmers has dried up so much that they haven't had any water for 3 years. No rain to speak of, and on top of that we were the hottes in the state for 100 and some odd days. Looks bad again this year.
