I hear you. 104 or 105 today and the trend is expected to continue into early next week. This reminds me of growing up on the farm in the late 50s when we lost almost the entire corn and milo crops.

Most of the farm stock tanks went dry, and we had someone come and doze the silt out of the bottoms. I have a feeling we will get a flood to break the drought again, just like the last few.

That’s what scary - everything suffers due to this drought.....then we get the big deluge that washes all the dry topsoil away, the gaps get washed away and lives end up getting lost.

We had our tanks dredged out in the 70s. Had to haul in water for the cattle and us.
