Less than 1/10" moisture last week. Less and less wildlife in the area. Weeds are green but drying and turning brown. Very little grass growth. The further north and east part of county is still brown. Arkansas River is down to a trickle north of Rocky Ford. Photos are in far NE corner of the county, taken yesterday. Feedlot dust hangs in the air around the clock. More cattle either being sold or put in feedlots. Continued stage 2 fire ban. Daily wind-never ends. Into the time of year when does not cool much during the night; have to keep extra cooling on round the clock.
