To paraphrase the late W. C. Fields "All things considered I would rather be in Kansas"

Hate to hear about the Midwest. Hope things work out okay in the end. On a positive note, we getting plenty of rain down here in South Alabama. 5 inches on Monday, 3/4" on Tues, and another 1" today.

The quail woods on my Georiga lease are looking great!!!!

That is true but this is the second year of severe drought and the effects are cumulative. Not only are crops failing but we are losing our native grasses and recovery will take years or decades to recover.

I live 40 miles South of Athens,Georgia and it is pitiful how little rain we have gotten the last three years! My pond is the lowest i have ever seen it! Bobby

I talked to a buddy of mine in south central South Dakota last week. He said the conditions there are the same as last dollar reports from Kansas.

Corn & beans are bad & the CRP is opened to haying & grazing.

Could be a tough bird season. But that's nothing compared to what the farmers are going through. My thoughts & best wishes are with the farmers. I hope they all make it through OK!!!

There may indeed be global warming taking place, it has done so and then reversed itself, in cycles, for thousands of years.What I take exception to is the idea that man is causing it.

I have a thousand acres of non-irrigated row crops every year that depend totally on rainfall to grow. I am intensely interested in rainfall patterns, dry and wet cycles. There is exactly the same amount of water on this old earth that there was when it was created. Not a gallon more or less. When one part of the planet is experiencing drought there are others that experience too much rainfall. It's all about the distribution of that set amount of water.

I bemoan what drought does to gamebird populations, but accept it as being part of the natural state of things. Man just needs to get over himself and realize he is not the most powerful thing in the universe, and that everything does not revolve around him.

Stan I agree with you wholeheartedly. The arrogance of some who think that whatever we insignificant humans can do will upset the enormous force of nature.

Yep. Global warming caused by humans is a scientific hoax all right. Just because 95% of all scientists that study it confirm it is proof positive that education is worthless. And just because that scientific theory is being shown not just in the US in a big way for the last three years and virtually around the world, coincidence. Greenland glaciers melting, not important. Polar ice caps melting, ha. Just a normal phase. Rush told me so.

Here's what's wrong with your 3 year Global Warming dataset: you are taking 3 years of data & expanding it for 3 million years. You are looking at a minute subset and true scientists understand sig figs and would not make such a claim other than for political gain.

Well, Hells Bells, lets take our shotguns and move to Greenland. The Vikings used to live there and farm it.
