.56 total rainfall in August. 1 day with less than 90 degrees. 12 days 100 degree or higher. If we don't get a 1-2" rain in the next two weeks, we're in trouble for winter. Hay prices getting up to $400 @ ton, if it can be found. Cattle prices falling. Weed growth has stopped. Grass needs a good, long soak. Local fire ban restrictions have been lightened, but still in place. Spots of the county look good, others look pretty bad. Over all-not near where we need to be to be productive and profitable.
