American farmers are killing their own crops and selling cows because of extreme drought
Nearly three quarters of US farmers say this year's drought is hurting their harvest -- with significant crop and income loss, according to a new survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation, an insurance company and lobbying group that represents agricultural interests.

...and then there's the U.S. Marshals picking on Amish (the real Amish) farmers.

Ya know I gotta say, I keep reading this stuff...
ReplyDeleteI travel rt 81 through Virginia quite a bit lately due to an ill father. The corn is tall, green, and beautiful!!! Soybeans everywhere look good, too. Hayfields kinda sketchy, but damn Va has a good corn crop this year...
Virginia has had a good amount of rain this summer but at least where I am in the South West it is prone to droughts sometimes when the rest of the country is lush and green we are bone dry.
ReplyDeleteGates wants more agricultural properties.
ReplyDeleteNorth Carolina is in a drought. To me, it all looks pretty good. Like anonymous above, tall corn, green fields. I talked to a local farmer and he was worried about the drought. The surface soil is moist, but dig down a short distance and the soil turns to dry powder.
ReplyDeleteIowa is hit and miss, if they got rain earlier the corn and beans are fair but if they didn't it looks like crap. Beans are green and leafy but the pods are empty, you have to walk into the fields and look closely. Corn is putting on small ears without many kernels, estimating an average 120 bu/acre instead of our normal 200.
ReplyDeleteHere in NW Ohio crops look very good. We have gotten rain in good intervals.
ReplyDeleteTX North of Lubbock and into NM & CO looking good too.
ReplyDeleteLots of rain and the cows eating off of thick grass. Further south, not so good.
