What compounded the 2011 drought was the bulk of it happened during a string of 100+ degree days during the summer. It was brutal. It is as dry here in East Texas as I have ever seen it this time of year. There are swampy places that are drying up that I have never seen not holding water

It is getting dry here in Coke County. We did get a freak 8" rain late in September. That gave us some good subsoil moisture, but the wheat is dying for lack of moisture now. Lots of good grass in the low places for the time being. I sold most of the cows anyway. They were getting old and I have no intention of feeding them through a drought. 2011 saw a wildfire burn 75% of this place then we had the summer of 100 plus days of 100 or over degree highs and no rain to speak of. It was miserable for man and beast. We did feed the wildlife to keep it alive but the livestock was sold early on. I have a gut feeling that we are about to see a rerun.
