Little of no precipitation. Some rain at the end of September, but little since. Pasture grass is sparse and increasing areas of soil surface visible. Fruit trees planted in Spring are struggling. Apples falling from trees before fully ripening. Hardwood trees leaves have very little color. Turning brown and falling. Carefully irrigating a few fall crops. Did not plant many cool weather crops due to uncertainty of future precipitation. Very concerned about ground water stores. We have well water.
