I'm from western Oklahoma and they have not had any rain either. Some of the wheat is only about a foot tall!

As hot as it is here....some of the fields are still wet and not planted.

We have corn in the field across the street from our neighborhood and it was barely 18 inches high with no corn, until we had a half inch of rain on two occasions. Now we can see corn on the stalks, but I bet they are as hard as a rock due to lack of moisture. At least the farmer may get some money from the corn, but not much I'm afraid.

We will be dry until we get out of the La Nina weather pattern. It just seems to be stronger this year and is lasting longer. I think they said the weather should shift out of La Nina about September. The trouble with La Nina's is that they warm the ocean water which can make for a horrible hurricane season. We'll see.
