Guys I have a cousin @ Olton,Tx about 35 Mi NW of Lubbock Tx he has spent the last month renozzeling sprinklers (most are 1/4 milers)to make their water stretch out on their Corn. They are on then shallow SW edge of the Ogalla Aquafier. * Out of just South of 1500 acres of corn they have abandoned 450 acres, 3 watering and most of the Fertilizer is in the crop ++++ Out of 600+ acres of Cotton, 150 will be abandoned shortly thy just don't have the water since there hasn't been any help from rain! Usually there is a couple of 3 good summer rains that give some relief and help. With the Spot Market price bouncing off of $12/CWT not Bu! Yes it is worth it specially when they average 220+ Bu/acre. As a general rule. * * I have a neighbor here close to me that Bought 100 rounds bales Down near Corpus Christy,Tx. Got them bought for about $50 ea, but after they were loaded the freight was some over $4.00 a loaded mile making them about $80 ea delivered to his place. 30+ bales per semi load! * * * DRY.....We are WAAAAAAY passed hysterically panicked. Llano,Texas is down to less than 4 weeks of water for the towns people. I have yet heard what will happen then, There are people 15 miles from me whose wells are pumping muddy water All but dry! We Do not waste any water here @ My place. No Extra-Curricular Water use of any kind Period. All faucets are checked 2 twice/Day. To secure what water storage we have on hand. Just another day of 101* to 105* weather here in Central Texas. * Tomorrow just a cool 146* in the shade......NO Problem, LOL!!! Later, John A.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
