Too bad about your pasture, but it'll recover. I lived in downtown Montreal for 28 years, 15 without air conditioning, and I'll tell you even this year's humidity here still doesn't come close to the misery back East! But here, very few people have air conditioning, it's rarely really needed.

I have never had air conditioning.... My air conditioning in my truck isn't working, and I usually have been able to get away with it.... but it has been pretty miserable this year.

My house stays pretty cool, I am all treed in, so it doesn't get super hot until the residual heat of the night sinks down in to the trees at sunset.
