> I don't remember our pastures ever looking so bad - this drought is serious.
This is interesting. Last year for us was horrible. My pasture wasn't even brown by the end of the summer--it was GRAY! I'd never seen anything like it before. Now we are having an incredibly wet season--it's raining right now, has rained 1/2" today which is a pretty significant amount for us. Usually we are talking about tenths of an inch. Things are very green and I suspect hay will be plentiful, nice, and cheap, a wonderful change from last years crap hay. That is, if the hay doesn't get rained on. I sure hope that our weather heads east tho. Karen, my parents live in SW VA, about 1 1/2hrs south of Blacksburg. They generally get our weather a couple days after it hits here, so hopefully you all will be getting rain by the end of the week. Robyn
