Hot & Windy!

The wind, which is gusting at around 40 mph,  combined with the 100F + heat is really taking it’s toll on the fields and pastures in the North Texas Area. It seems that most hay producers harvested their first cut and are now anxiously awaiting a nice rainfall to get the grass growing again. We are also under a red flag warning for wildfires so everyone be very careful about doing anything that could spark or ignite a fire.  The weather wizzards are calling for possible severe storms in Denton and Parker Counties through this evening.  Hopefully, we’ll get some rain without the severe weather!

Waiting For Hay

After an exceptionally dry and windy spring the North Texas Area FINALLY  received enough rain to grow the grass. The first cutting is underway and fresh hay is now available!  Hopefully, once the fields are cut, baled, and cleared we will get another round of rainstorms sufficient to nourish the second cutting. Oh, and we can do without the hail this time around!
