Depends on when and if you got a rain and many missed it when they needed it. Good rains since Monday and some areas have lots of water standing now. Many counties report 50-60% of dryland cotton was gone from earlier hails and sand storms. Cotton yields will be way down and gins won't fare good this time. Was really no dryland wheat to speak of and won't be any dryland milo to speak of because no rains till now. Many irrigated crops were abandoned last month and one can only hope rains came in time but yields will be below average on irrigated corn and milo. Amazingly there is some dryland cotton left that will make something. Only hay was all irrigated. Brown grass and not enough rain in June to keep things green so was very little if anything for grazing. Too many cattle sold off and prices went down. As usual all government employees and representatives got pay raises and we didn't and get the you know what with more expenses.
