We’re in the worst drought in 1,200 years; it’s going to leave a mark.
It’ll rain again, some day.
Have you started dancing yet?
I leave that to the pretty girls…. Win-win.
Our little corner of SouthEast Idaho is peculiar….. in La Niña years, like now, we are usually a little below normal in precipitation. Then, in El Niño years, we tend to be just below average. The only time we are statistically above average is in “La Nada” years (ENSO-neutral). I’m hoping those monsoon storms Tikka is enjoying start making it all the way up here. Those are the good years.
Local irrigation district just started using storage water from Bear Lake with the allotment to the farmer of about 50 days (out of 90 days irrigating left) of water to finish the year. A little early in the season, but wheat and Trit will come off irrigation pretty quick, so most people will be fine.
