This part of the nation isn't going to get much better during this or next year either because we are entering into an El Nino year.  Those are notoriously dry.  Luckily where I live we had snow up the kazoo this past winter so we are still in really good shape at this point.  My brother lives farther to the north in my state and says it's starting to dry out up there, closer to the ND border.  But down south where I am, things are still good.  We've had a lot of dry lightning storms already though, and those are never good.  So glad I have a garage to keep my car in because we've already had hail several times.  Small hail but nevertheless.

NO ONE SHOULD BE PLANTING THAT AWFUL CROP OF SOYBEANS ANYWAY.  I say let it all die, it's terrible for the human body and they put it in EVERYTHING these days.  You cannot get away from it.  That's why french fries don't taste like they used to when you were growing up *if you're as old as I am, that is !!!  I can remember walking home from school a couple of blocks out of our way just so we could stop by the little Mom and Pop drive-in and grab a couple of bags of fries.  God those were good.  Nowadays, fries have NO flavor and they're hard as a rock.  Soybean oil isn't good for humans or animals, so of course the Bill Gates' of the world are going to push it on US, but not his elitist class of rich clowns.
