What a mess!!!! The drought and the fires combine to really kick butt!!! What started out as a really messed up summer around here weather wise has turned into another great year for crops.... A few in this area have already began shipping extra hay South!!!! Don't see how the ranchers down there have a prayer of making it through the winter if they have to buy all their feed! I've heard many in Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas have already started selling off their cattle and making some serious reductions in herd size.
