The Houston area if finally getting some good rain. Last year was a disaster for us. I have 2 huge water oaks that are dying because of last years drought. We had water rationing last year so I could not water them. This years rain is too late for them. Our beautiful park in the middle of town, Memorial Park, was decimated last year.

“now farmers want to be allowed to use a banned rat poison. So why is all of this happening?”
Well the mouse plague might have been caused by the ban just saying.

The drought of 1995-1996 was worse. Any FReepers recall starving or food shortages then?
Right now, there is a huge wheat supply, and record high world grain supplies.
It’s called ‘weather’ and ‘farming’.

Ethanol plants are already scaling back or shutting down as supply gets too expensive, and there are no impediments to importing ethanol these days.

Revelation 6:5-6 5 When He opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come and see. So I looked, and behold, a black horse, and he who sat on it had a pair of scales in his hand. 6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, A quart[c] of wheat for a denarius,[d] and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.
A denarius is about one day's wages.

It’s nice you still have a yard. Lost mine last year with 29 days over 100.

Good grief! Weather comes and goes and has for millenia. You remind me of a barbarian: “The gods are angry! We must find someone to sacrifice!” Hot, cold, wet, dry, and in between: The weather is what it’s always been— it’s just that “always” is longer than our lifespan, and God’s not any angrier now than He ever has been.

My yard was a hayfield last year. I just picked some arbitrary boundaries after we cut and bailed it and started mowing. Presto. Yard. We’l see how it goes, though.
Seed is cheap.

In Eastern Colorado the fields are brown, except for the very few that have been watered via well water. Corn is only knee high in most fields.

Just a part of God’s judgement upon this country for rejecting Him. Much worse to come.

When did american farmers go back to relying on rain? Last I heard they had invented something called CENTER PIVOT IRRIGATION.
Oh! You mean that thing where water is created from nothing? /sarc
To: Sir Napsalot
Maybe it’s global warming, maybe it’s not, but what we do know is that whatever it is, isn’t because of Man.

Not even barely. The 1930s were far worse.
Here's the temperature part of it all by decade:

With regard to the map shown above, I live in Boise ID. The map shows Boise area to be “abnormally dry”. Actually, Boise is 2 1/2 inches of precip above normal so far this year, and was exactly on average for annual precip. in 2011.
