I know. And I feel for the ranchers. We talked to some folks who said that the sense of helplessness they felt was the worst part, since who were you going to see about the weather. Doesn't the Dept. of Ag. have help for ranchers? I know that farmers can be eligible for drought relief. Or if so, is it the kind of help that only leaves them deeper in debt?

It's just going back to normal though. There's been a several hundred year wet spell. It is a desert out here.

They could just tell the fed that they won't be planting this year, That should qualify them for Farm Bill subsidy somhow or another.
