Kimberly living in drought conditions - Georgia 7bish 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. |
