Growing a garden this year for the second time. Grew the first one a few years before 2011 (i think 2004), but it was very dry that year too. Might be another 20 years before I try it again. Not sure what I'm going to do for hay this winter.

Nothing close to 2011 on my places in Mills county at the moment. We were close from January until about 4 weeks ago, but have received a little over 3 inches of rain since then. In 2011 I fertilized about 220 acres of coastal for hay production and didn't get a drop till too late for coastal to grow.

Our place in Shiner is looking as bad as 2011 when we had to sell all our cows on our 130 acre place. Hard to believe how grass rich we were just last year, not cutting all our fertilized fields (shredding) as we had just too much hay to put up.

Going to find out how much of an impact protein & cottonseed has on antler growth.
Most of the young cedar elms, hackberry, persimmon, & guajillo on south end of my ranch never put on leaves & alot of the trees appear to be dead.
Gotta send one up for our farmers and ranchers, hoping we start getting some slow rolling good rains for y’all.

It’s scary dry!!
We have only had a couple rains since the first of last November 2021….Throw in all the boatload of 100 degree days plus high winds sure makes it a brutal combo.
Praying hard for rain!!!
We normally get the worst of the droughts at the ranch. Like it will rain a good bit in town and miss our ranch 7 miles away.
This year I’ve had multiple good rains at the ranch. So much I’ll have to mow multiple times during the summer.

Been pretty tough the last year. Seems like even starting last fall/winter the precipitation wasn’t like normal. Combined with the above average wind and lack of adequate spring rains it has been brutal. Won’t be much longer and we’ll be putting out hay. Thankfully we carried over a good bit from last year.
