So doesn't that mean that they've seen it before now? To have not seen it
in years? Ebb and flow.

yeah......25+ years ago...before my time! lol

I guess it mainly seems worse to me this year, because last year we had
so much excess rain, and the crops flourished. This year hay is in big
demand because there isn't any near by. We've had to drop regular
customers and will be lucky if we have enough to get us thru to next hay
season.

thankfully, our well hasn't run out, while some neighbor's (about 5
miles out) well ran dry around 3 weeks ago. They've been buying and
borrowing water (and showers!).
That's not the only case of wells run dry locally.
