Here, it's to wet and farmers are having a hard time getting in. swampgas chili and schmidt beer makes for a deadly combo You have to remember that 1 out of 3 Democratic Voters is just as dumb as the other two.

Flint Hill fur trapper Joined: Jan 2017 Ks	Originally Posted by Yes sir If we don't get more than a half an inch in the next couple of days we are going to start swathing all our wheat. It's not going to make much hay but it going to be something. Had crop adjuster out today has the potential to make anywhere from 15 to 30 if we started getting good moisture from here until it's done but that isn't looking likely. It's going down hill fast. Ponds are going dry, pastures aren't looking good. No alfalfa to cut or brome. Worst I've seen it here this time of year in my life. Gets worse south and west of us. There is already wheat being baled up around here. Corn stands are hit an miss. Pastures are yellow. Sucks

Ponds that many people have never seen dry are now. There are people swathing and bailing milo stalks from last fall just to have something to feed their cattle.

Most of the pairs that I've seen sell around here the last couple weeks have been selling for $1.10 to $1.25 a lb. pair weight. Most everything is heading to Missouri out of the local sale barn. The rest are going to the Dakota's. It's your story, tell it how you want me to believe it

He had a second degree in meteorology He had a weather station at his home, and was an official reporting station. Anyway, we were talking about a drought situation in the south, while flooding was occurring in the north. He said, "not a year goes by without some part of the country suffering a weather catastrophe." All you "Woke" people need to go back to sleep!

Sure perked up the corn the next couple days but wow talk about piling on the expense to his production. Jim Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.
