Joe I've read post on several ag sites about your area and to the north. That is extreme as to the droughts we have and what we have can get bad at times. Several years back we had 3 rivers stop running here in Va. But we did have rains in the winter and could make stockpile grazing and we always made a hay crop in the spring. Our droughts started getting worse in 1998 and the next 10 out of 12 years were drought.
There's hay here for sale and is cheap compared to the prices there. The shipping is so costly it would cost more than what you are already paying to get it there. I remember in the 60's and 70's folks here donated hay to send to drought areas and the national guard transported the hay. Those days are far gone by. If we had a way to transport hay like they did then I'd gladly donate some. I know all to well the feeling of what to do when it doesn't rain and the heat is burning up what is still alive. You can easily spend more to hang on than you can get back in 20 years. Hard decisions have to be made and hope you make the right ones. Times like this are hard on everything from plants, livestock and people. It works on the mind. It can take years off your life too. You spend your life working and building and it can all go to dust in months.
I keep praying for drought relief in any form for the dry areas. It'll rain sometime. I just hope it comes in time like it most years does.

Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
