Its all over the place by region, irrigated vs non-irrigated. Brazil had a horrible year, the Ukraine thing has put a damper on things. Like I said, we are dry as a bone here yet just a couple hundred miles away, St Louis flooded yesterday while we didn't get a drop. I think Kansas got rain so it rained before us and after but skipped over us. There is a farm north east of me that has irrigated fields and his look great but south of me, most of them don't irrigate and like I posted somewhere, AJ's I think, they are going to have a total loss of both corn and beans. The drought is hitting Texas too I guess as I am reading them selling cattle due to no feed. It is the same here. Locally, everyone is reducing their herds as they are having to feed hay that wasn't supposed to be used until winter so now they will be short, especially since the late hay harvest will be nonexistent most likely unless we get rain really soon. I had a rancher I don't know come t my door a few days ago offering to put up fence if I let him put some cattle on my fields because his are grazed down and dead. I am putting lick tubs out with water for my deer now because they aren't able to get it from the vegetation anymore and all my creeks have dried up. I've had a couple get hit by cars crossing the road to go to my neighbor's pond. I was out pulling thistle last week and the ground was like concrete. Really hard to get the roots up. I'm also worried with the drought that the oaks may not put out many acorns and they are essential for the deer and turkey in the winter. I noticed my walnut trees are dropping nuts early. I guess they are giving up and conserving moisture. We are in real crisis here locally. On the AG report map, it's spotty. We are getting another chance for rain tonight and tomorrow. I'm praying. The last few "storms" passed us by.
