MF261, Since the first of the Yr I have received 5.5inches.... 5inches 2 weeks ago, .50 last weekend and a brief shower this am as the Wife and I went to church. We are wetter than than we have been in 2.5 yrs!!! But that Ain't saying much. Yes we are Green that is only 2 inches deep once we hit 100* consistently that will be gone. we have some grass but that is nothing hang your hat on of sustain a herd of any size through the summer. There are areas that are wet, wet, wet but that is the Exception, not the Rule. Area Lakes are All down at or near record lows Now!, So if most of them do not receive big rains soon by the end of summer our water outlook will be bleek. that is just the Long and Short of it! I went to the High Tx Panhandle 3 weeks ago... from Amarillo north that country looks like a Barron Wasteland. I saw Grass Quarters that have always had Ankle high Buffalo Grass on them, It look so bad I thought I would get violently Ill if I had to look at it for long. Corners where cattle usually congregate up, bed down were trying to, start Blowing sand!! Up in the Okla Panhandle. In Cimarron Co. Near where Cimarron Cattle Feeders are, I used to Farm out East of them about 15 miles or so, Back in the 80s! So I am well acquainted with that country. That area looked so bad I wanted to cry! We need Rain, I don't mean a shower here and there. We Rain to the point we think we better start building an Ark!!! Thank you for asking, I don't mean to Unload on you, Just illustrate the point how dry we are here in Texas and joining Areas at this point in time. I do realize there are folks who had so much rain that can't find a place to store another .50 inch of rain. Yes Texas is a dry area But Not this dry. We haven't seen a normal rain pattern is over 7 yrs. Yes summer is hot and dry in Texas, but we used to get fall rains Not so now, Used to get winter and spring rains Not so now. ............. I recond the Lord will send rain on a regular basis when He deems we need it ! WE do garner all Prayers for rain to be sent to Texas! Thanks Y'all! Later, John A.

Today's Featured Article - An Old-Time Tractor Demonstration - by Kim Pratt. Sam was born in rural Kansas in 1926. His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
