[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 665596, member: 39764"] Fire extunguisher................It's dry here too. We are around 3 inches under average rainfall and the crops show the stress and of course my contract forage business is stressed as well. A bright spot will be wheat straw. The stalks didn't head out real well so yields will be off but bailed wheat straw will be at a premium (I suspect that some livestock producers will be feeding it in addition to the hard to find hay). I contracted 200 acres, 100 in rounds and 100 in small squares or about 300 4x5 rounds and 10,000 squares. Not sure what the climate change is attributable to. I don't want to assume global warming or ozone layer disruption, I want to believe it's a normal cycle, but, something is definitely changed from previous years. I can see it in how the crops are maturing (early) the wheat matured before july and normally that is an August occurence, the migratory habits of the birds and the bugs themselves. This year we have fireflys before the sunner solstice. That's never occured for as long as I can remember and I'm 63. The other thing I've noticed (and we have discussed around the dinner table) is the change in prevailing winds. In past years, out prevailing winds have been from the southwest to the northeast. That changed this year and now they come from the north-north east and blow toward the south-south west. Something is up. I have no idea what and I don't want to venture a guess. [/QUOTE]
