Unfortunately, our drought is far from over. We only got 1/2 of our average rainfall for 2008 and we are still at less than 1/2 for our usual amount for 2009. It looks very grim. There was an article in the paper today about a man who had been farming/ranching in this area for 60 years, and he has never seen it this dry. The paper showed a farm pond that was almost dry - he said it had never been this low in 60 years. It is really bad here.
