With the water table lower than we've ever seen it, the well water literally stinks. At least, for the time being we have enough for the livestock. No one even smokes a cigarette on our land. The bluebonnets didn't make it this year. Hay will cost a fortune this summer, because the pastures are nothing but dry. We inspect our mama cows every day, and water the garden twice a day by hand to conserve water. Worst year we've ever had....please pray for quiet gentle rain, and lots of it.
it is like that up here in OK as well...they say this is the worst drought for up here in all of OK history.....wheat is dying in the fields now...we water from the well by hand as well...put a lot of things in containers this year to cut down on watering....
