not sure about other states but Va hasnt had a rain in the past 2 weeks and add that to the 2 inches we have had in the past 3months and its a drought here. Its rumored that muzzleloader season will get closed if we dont get rain before then. We need a good 4-5inches just to wet the ground here.
Im wondering how this will effect the acorns and food for deer this winter and next spring
anyone else seeing dry conditions in their areas?
Its DRY out again

what?
Farmer-I live down the road in Gloucester. Extremely dry down here as well. Think we are 12" behind. Looks like hanging around water holes may be the ticket this year. Whats this about closing muzzleloader season?

Extremely dry here in Georgia too. We have a outdoor watering ban in place . . .no warnings, just a quick $500 fine. It amazed me how many sprinkliers I saw running on my way to our tennis match Saturday a.m. May not have any water, but, the county will have a lot of $500 fines to collect.
No relief in sight.

I'd rather wear out than rust out.

Re: what?
they always threaten to close it up here if its to dry since they fear the ML's sparking fires. Though I doubt it would ever happen LOL.Dipperdoo wrote:Farmer-I live down the road in Gloucester.

I know we are atleast 12-16 inches behind in rain total... the weather channel shows us in the MILD/Severe drought area
As a farmer, I just want to get this year over with but its looking like we wont be able to plant wheat if it doesnt rain by Nov
