Sorry! This is in the Oklahoma Panhandle (the little strip of OK that used to be called No Man's Land).

It is part of the High Plains - flat arid country from West Texas near Amarillo on up north through eastern Colorado, western KS, and further north. Most of the ground is irrigated if the land has the water under it, dryland if it doesn't.

A lot of the poor guys further east of us in big wheat country have had a terrible time with Hessian fly infestations, a very hard late freeze, too much late rain, etc, but we've been very blessed this year - with a huge snow in the winter and pretty timely rains this spring.

We usually average about 18 inches of moisture a year. Often 2-3 inches of that comes in a 20 minute drenching.

Dad is pushing 80 and said it's one of the best wheat years he's ever seen - WITH the price being good...
