Looks like we're getting all the rain now... That we did not get all summer.

Arkansas is low on hay. Prices are 65 a bale, round bales.?ÿ

Some farmers are selling 90% of their cows.

To get through winter.

Gonna be tough this year on farmers.

I have had the opposite. We have had plenty of rain almost to the point I was not able to get all my hay up between rain. ?ÿItƒ??s a two edge sword. To much rain not enough rain. It will be tough on farmers in a lot of areas this winter. ?ÿI do try and keep my stocking rate lower than average and rotate and stockpile in the pasture.?ÿ

Using hydrant water off the RWD to supply cattle in one pasture.?ÿ Moving a different herd today six miles to a different pasture because it has both grass and water, which is getting critical where they are.

Figure out a way to divert it to the Colorado River...
