Typically in Indiana irrigation is not used.
Then again, we haven’t had this type of drought since 1988.
“drought since 1988”
I lived in Minnesota back then and the drought started in 1987 through 1988.
The lakes, rivers and watershed were extremely low and hydrologists claimed it would take a decade for normalicy to return....by the middle of the summer of 1989, everything was not only normal but above normal.
Folks, this IS natural variability. This is Not YET remotely anything to do with the Lord’s judgement.
Signs of the time have not come to complete fruition.
There is not a world Mideast peace treaty yet.

If this is anything whatsoever, it is the start of the Lord taking the crafty in their own craftiness.
Paganism, i.e. AGW, is attempting, with the help of the media, to gather world governance with this lie.
If weather (not climate) is an indicator of God’s final judgment, then it began in the 1930’s. Or, the Little Ice Age, or the Medieval Warm Period, or......etc.
Weather has always been one of God’s ways to get the nations attention.
Let’s not jump to hysteria over this article.....there will be a clear difference when the seals are broken and the trumps trumpeted.
Interesting.
I sure do remember the drought of the late 80s. It was more than one year though. More like 4 years long if I remember. This one is not as bad as that one was. I was living in eastern nebraska then and in ‘88 and ‘89 we were having daily highs of 102-108 degrees for 2 weeks or more straight in july. I was young enough then that I thought it felt good. It seemed invigorating, like a shot of adrenaline. It sure doesn’t have that effect on me now. All it does to me now is slow me down and make me drag the next day like a hangover.
I remember the weekends at mid afternoon the world was deserted back then in july/august during the drought. People did not leave their houses. Traffic lights failed due to the heat. Anyone remember those days? When the traffic lights would malfunction if it got too hot outside? How about the cars in parking lots would have their horns go on by themselves if the interior of the car got too hot?
Anyway, I was driving an old car that would overheat if it got above 70 degrees outside. I had to keep the drive short, not stop, and run the heater on full blast to help cool the engine. So here I am going 25mph through town running all the red lights and stop signs and just trying to make it to my destination before the radiator starts boiling over. It’s 105 or so degrees outside and about 120-130 inside my car due to the heater being on. There were no other cars on the streets because of the heat. Half the the traffic lights didn’t work anyway. I carried 6 one gallon milk jugs in the car full of water for when the radiator boiled over.
Ahhh, those were the days!
In 1988 the government still had stocks of grains for “just in case” but no more. There is carry-over but it is usually in private hands.
