[Just mythoughts]

This drought has not only affected the corn crop in the Midwest, but anything that requires water to survive is in a heap of hurt. Missouri has decided to assist some farmers in drilling wells just to water their cattle. I doubt we will know the full extent of this drought until next spring.

A couple of weeks back I was watering flowers on my deck and I had to let the water run a bit to get the hot water out of the hose. In an instant a hummingbird was two feet from my face taking a bath in my spray. It landed near by did some cleaning and repeated this bath two more times. The deer have lost their shyness, and I saw a fox yesterday eating wild plumbs.

Last summer during the Texas drought (still in a drought), the deer camped out in and birthed their babies at people’s front doors as that was the only green around.

"I doubt we will know the full extent of this drought until next spring."

I saw an article that said the water level of the Mississippi was down 20 feet and beginning to affect shipping. It said if the water level decreases any more that shipping would have to stop and that the dollar affect would be $500 million a day in losses.

They are expecting the water level to decrease more. So....looks like prices are headed up for a number of reasons.

Railway a truck shipping should boom.

My friend has a truck brokerage company and they're already having a record year in the amount of business they've done.
