    1. This drought is killing me. I am deep in the red. My normal water hole has completely dried up. Have had to drill 3 new wells for my cows, I don’t think I will be able to make hay this year. Fire every day it seems like.

    1. The Worst Spring Drought on Record Is Putting U.S. Crops at Risk
    2. At one point, this was the most powerful tractor within ours and the surrounding counties(excluding mining/forestry dozers), suffice to say that is no longer the case. The main crops went from tobacco and vegetables to cow calf operations and corn.
