but,guys ,dont you know crop insurance is one of those dreaded gov handouts? LOL.Seriously though,its tough to see things burn up,especialy since you worked so hard.But its a fact of life in this buisness,every year its a gamble.Actually I think youve got better chances in vegas.At least there you have the option of folding.Farming your pretty much all in every hand. How i deal with the stress,is by doing all i can this year to prepare for next. Maybe look for a more drought resistant crop or more drought resistant strain of your chosen crop.research ways to hold what little moisture you do get in the subsoil. look for better ways to plant etc. not much you can do about the weather,youve got to live with it, but you can look on the bright side,its not too wet,or cold.Your not fighting hail,wind storms, lightning,or a dozen other things youll have to stress about next year! Sort of a glass half full type thing. If it helps any,its my experience that these droughts come around about every 25, at most 30, years.And last around five years normaly. By my calculations here,we'll have one more dry year. then we'll see,thats the make or break time.I do think dryland farmers have a little advantage in a drought because thats kind of what they do,but the same thing applies to other folks who are more accustomed to good rains in the wet years.
