Re: Blistering Drought Ravages Plains States

Most of the serious rain here has been north of I 70. Leaving areas south
still dry.
Flood warning last week from KC north. I did get two rains here. Total of
about 1.5 inches.
That almost settled the dust. Well, got to run. One of the dogs fell into a
crack in the yard. :)

Another interesting effect of this is crop protection products
sales. With the drought, there are things in the distributors
warehouses that will not be sold until next year, and then only if the
conditions improve.

We have gotten some rain here in Oklahoma this month, but we are still
behind. It has really hurt the red wheat crop last fall and the
pasture land for the last two years.
