We have had one of the driest summers already here in southeast Oklahoma that I can remember, and we have a long way to go until fall. My pasture is burnt up. The only thing that is green is where I have been running a sprinkler, and that is not nearly enough to keep the horses going. I have been feeding hay that I had left over from last winter (SO GLAD I bought more than I needed last year). I have been very concerned about getting a stock of hay for this year. VERY little being put up this year. My hay man called in the middle of the afternoon today and said he was getting ready to bale, if I wanted some to come now. Needless to say, I dropped everything and went. I got 15 rolls (which will be way more than enough under normal circumstances) and another man who puts up square bales promised I was first on his list when he cuts. I feel so fortunate!
As bad as things are here, I hear that other areas of the state are drier than we are.
