Not going to Church and wasting half of every Sunday 52 days a yr is the best life decision I could have ever made.

If you're lucky, you'll get to meet the man that wrote the good book rather than listen to someone read it.

Really though, drive safe.

There was one man who wrote the good book? He would be the best selling author of all time.

Ended up with 17 inches.

My truck has a flat top. The snow on the hood got too heavy and slid off, but there's a huge mound of snow on top of the cab.

This is going to destroy the lives of many farmers across the midwest this year. Lots of wheat in Kansas has already been lost to frost, and this cold front looks to do much more damage. **** this snow. If I were a farmer, I'd be crying and drinking right now....

It's not the snow. I don't think it got cold enough last night to cause any damage. And the snow helps insulate the growing point from frost (as crazy as that sounds, ice does insulate from cold).

It's ****ing tonight. Intellicast is calling for 23 degrees. That's too much.

I'm not overly worried about it at this point. The 48 hours under 25 on April 10th crushed most of my wheat. I've got a few fields that still have some decent yield potential (in the event it ever rains), but most of the acreage has a very low yield potential at this point.

I'm just happy for the little bit of moisture that came. My corn/milo still has some potential.

When I was a kid, my Dad told me how he was stationed, for a very short while, in Amarillo at the AFB during WWII. He would go on and on and on about how windy it was there. I had to travel there for business in the last several years, and it was every bit as bad as my Dad described it. That wind is angry and it's non-stop.

Wheat is completely ****ed down here, and with corn going in late we will prob get caught trying to harvest with snow on the ground.

If we manage to get just an average rain year like in the 90s we wil see record crops here. This drought has been horrific. Even our buffalo grass at the farm and at my house is 80% dead.


I laugh at my friends down in Oklahoma and eastern Kansas when they bitch about it being dry.

I lived in Tulsa for 3/4 years and i seem to remember that it's pretty much always like that.

rains in the afternoon for an hour each day even if it's perfectly clear the rest of the time. LMAO

sybil weather

Frosty 05-02-2013 10:25 AM
The only part of Texas I've ever been in is Dalhart, which is NW of Amarillo. My main impression of it was miles and miles of feedlots (and the accompanying smell) and red dirt blowing 50 mph sideways.

Ugly.

West Texas sucks.

A little bit east of Childress things start getting nicer, and at Dallas/Austin/San Antonio things start getting REALLY nice.

I flew to Pecos, Eagle Pass, El Paso, Amarillo, etc. It is literally a wasteland mixed with a shitload of gas and oil wells.

You can buy land for 35 bucks an acre by Pecos, though. :hmmm:

Frosty 05-02-2013 10:51 AM
The good thing about Dalhart, though, is that it's good potato growing land. Obviously good for cattle too.

Yeah, I'm goddamn glad I'm not a cow man trying to maintain a herd on this poor grass. Man...

I'm lucky. I haven't grown much of a goddamn thing, but I've only had to go out and try to stop one field from blowing.

It is? Is there big water down there? I think potatoes take a bunch of water.

It's not especially good for cows. It is good for feedlots. It's so dry runoff isn't a problem, and the feral water dries up so fast, the disease stays down some.

Their wells have excellent water, and it extends all the way up to Guymon.

You know, our area might look like West Texas in a few years when the water dries up. Whenever I drive between Garden, Ulysess, and Hugoton I cringe because it has already begun.

Buehler445 05-02-2013 11:38 AM
Our soils up here have better water holding capacity, so (in the event that it ever ****ing rains again) it won't be that bad. The sandy soils though ..:sulk:

But we're different up here. On my farm the water is all but gone already.

This is me giving you the finger.

In point of fact though, I've worn precisely 0 pairs of overalls ever. My grandpa actually wore overalls because he was a farm kid during the dust bowl and they had less than no money. So when my older brother was born, my mom bought him some cutesy overalls and grandpa freaked. So no baby overalls for us and I've never work them since. They're overalls after all.

We're not just a bunch of hayseeds for the most part. Those days are over. At least in most places. I fancy myself a fairly intelligent human, but there are lots of guys in production Ag that are way smarter than I am.

I hear you there. It bothers me that everyone seems to view farmers as brainless clod-kicking hicks. It's usually quite the opposite. I was very very close to making farming my profession back in the day. If my mother wouldn't have divorced my asshole stepfather when she did, I'd very likely be running a farm right now. People seriously underestimate the thinking, planning, and actual hard work required. You have to be quite creative, adaptive, and resourceful. There's no such thing as a lazy farmer. You don't successfully manage millions of dollars worth of moving parts in frustratingly remote locations, by being a dummy.

You have my respect, my friend.
