Barry, worst part is we caught some lucky thunderstorms in mid-July and got our hopes up but the plague of hoppers chewed that dream all to hell.
Worst grasshoppers I have ever seen. Unreal scene out in the country with windbreaks and road ditches being stripped clean with fields turning now.
Hahaha!

Year 3 for us.
I'll be glad when this party's over!
Year three for bad hoppers, year four for bad drought for us.
This year is a terrible wreck. The drought it really spotty. We have no hay, but some guys in the county have double the hay of last year.
Was talking to a friend who ranches south of me 20 miles. I felt kind of guilty talking about the 3 inches of precip we have received since the first of the year. Not wanting to sound like I was bragging!
He said they were sitting at about 11 inches!
Apparently we are due some relief this fall Barry. El Nino or Nina or some such nonsense is going to change into the better one for us out west.
