All our ponds are dry for only the second time since I’ve been around. We have had 7” of rain since November the 4th. Started caking cows a month ago and pulled the calves off too. It’s been a rough one!

Cricks are lower than I ever remember. Finally got a 1/2 inch yesterday but all that did was wet the grass. Very little rain this summer. At one point went 8 weeks without a drizzle. Ponds and ditches are dry. Rats have either died or moved to the one main crick with water. Hopefully things change soon but I doubt it. No amount of rain forecasted in the future

We have had it almost every day this summer.
No matter where you go there you are.

Creeks are nearly dry unless they are spring fed. The bog in some swamps has dropped several feet. I can’t remember seeing it this bad.

Very dry here, even for us. There used to be a river that runs through our town, it is dry. The reservoir that many farmers irrigate from is at record lows. The water doesn’t even reach the dam at this point. We really need 5 or 6 wet years in a row to get fully recovered

Last year we had a drought and this year is looking like another one. Public boat landings are getting pretty low. Last year some dried up. Slight chance of rain in the forecast for tomorrow. Otherwise, nothing substantial for the next week.
Must be nice to eat ice cream as fast as you want and not have to worry about brain freeze.
