I Know how it feels here in southwest OK. thank god they banned fireworks in the county. I haven't even fired up the tractor in a month due to chance of sparks. they have pretty much plowed up 90 % of the irrigated cotton in Jackson county---lake is out of water. 100 plus so many days now that I have lost count.

I got that little magazine in the mail yesterday that oec puts out here ,had a article in it that said its drier now than in the 30's,only difference is its not lasted as long.(so far)neighbors up between elk city and sayre where I have a place have been hauling water for cattle for a couple of months now.Weve baled exactly 4 round bales of hay this year,normally would have a hundred put up.I debated long and hard as to wheather to rent that place out again,glad i didnt now looks like were going to need every bit of pasture we can get.
