One of these I saw from the road the other is in a pasture I have rented for 10 years, the pond is about 4 acres and is down to about 2 I walked out to it this afternoon. I have 6 pastures and of the 6 there are 2 that will have water this summer if we don't see some moisture. I have not hit panic mode but if we don't have some rain this spring and summer I may be forced to sell my cow herd. I am planning on putting about half of my ground to wheat behind beans this fall and if this happens I will only plant about 30 acres of corn next year. [Reply]   [No Email]
