It is crispy. Very crispy. My understanding is that we could obtain government disaster relief for the livestock... but we won't do that. The less the government is involved in our business the better. We have accounted 4 acres per animal for our cattle and pigs are primarily in the trees and get grain and milk.
Whatever the case, it has been strange here. 100+ during the day and then in the 70s at night. I remember last year it was in the 80s at night. You almost feel like you need a jacket on after being in the heat all day.
The garden is looking pretty rough. This isn't very good corn country and I have to agree. I'd plant some sorghum but at these temps the seeds would just bake in the ground! So here I am just struggling to keep the garden watered. Well, our pump lost a great deal of it's integrity and can't produce enough pressure. NOW I can barely keep it alive. We're hopefully and prayerfully getting a new pump this weekend!
It's a significantly better pump than what we had.
Please keep us in your prayers! We need rain and good finances to keep us moving forward!
