This is what all the fields look like around here:
We have a dam that is giving way not too far from here and I am a bit worried about that and a lot of hay fields are drowned out do to record floods. Eastern Montana may not be putting out any crops this year and many of the area farmers are applying for government aid due to failure to be able to plant!

And Montana is having storms again today. What a horrible weather year for our country. In Texas we are in the midst of an 'exceptional' drought that is anticipated to last several years for the southern part of the State to the Rio Grande border. I think food prices will sky rocket this year.. Girls... what can we do to help our families.. I have limited space myself and can't keep livestock.. but who has water in Texas anyway?

That about sums up our fields around here too Alee. We have had every possible piece of equipement stuck at least once this year. Thankfully we were able to get most of the crops planted, now we need some sun.

Oh... Alee! It's true what they say "A picture says a 1000 words!"
Thinking of you here in the U.P. where we could really use some of the wet stuff...Just send it on this way!

Needing rain badly here. They may band fire works this year due to drought. I love to watch the fire works on July 4th!

Alee:
Could you please send some of that rain down to Louisiana? We are in a drought. My front yard is burnt.

We just ordered enough wheat to last a few years. I am so glad we did. Looks like it will be awhile before there is any more grown. That's where our wheat comes from. I hope it does dry out soon. If it does, will it be too late to plant?

OH Alee- I am sos sorry- for you, and all of the farmers out there that this affects.Mother Nature is sure giving us a run for our money lately. It breaks my heart to see things like that- people's livelyhoods depend on their crops. I just dont know how people make it through. It rained all day here yesterday too- and more is expected today. I hope that Dam holds out near you. Prayers to all affected by this and all adverse weather.
