| It's late enough in the season that it doesn't affect our plants all that much. They're shutting down anyway. Our soil is dry and cracked and very hard. A mile south of us McCullough Creek at Meadowbrook Park is no longer flowing and its deeper pools are drying up. |

Fire
| Hampden, Mass. Our town had a fire on top of Minnechaug Mt. it started on Sat, 9/19/2020 through Tuesday, 9/21. It was quickly contained but could not be put out. About seven fire departments from adjacent communities, including Conn, helped as well as state agencies. Fortunately it was not a tree top fire as the trees, though stressed, are still green. It was a forest floor fire, often down into the roots and deep in the leaf bed. The location is steep, remote without roads. The fire personnel could only get quads and small fully four-wheel drive vehicles onto the mountain, which meant they had a very limited water supply. It was put out when the Mass Air National Guard sent a helicopter water dropping unit in to assist. The air guard made somewhere in the range of a dozen drops over a good part of Tuesday. The fire will be on watch for the many next days.

| Selling livestock because of lack of forage. I have never bought this much hay for the winter. surrounding ranches are selling at least half of their mother cows, this will impact my county a great deal. very concerned for the coming months. Surrounding ranches have also purchased a large amount of hay, to try to keep what cows they have left. |
