Ok...so I'm looking at the current drought map... droughtmonitor.unl.edu/and starting to think that this year (at least in my corner of the world) is shaping up to be a lot like 87...warm, dry summer and fall, and then BOOM! 88 drought. Dad tells about how much fall plowing he got done in 87 and was planting corn by mid April in 88 (that just never happens around here). There's also talk of another LaNina firing up (which will probably kill off what's left of Texas... What say you?

I'm a big believer in weather pattern cycles. Years back, I rented land from a gent in his 80s. After milking, we'd often sit on his porch drinking a beer when I came to check on my youngstock grazing there.
He'd cite that "this is the same type of year we had in 1930-something....." He had a system where he'd predict the number of snowstorms in each coming winter.
But to your point, linsal. It is possible that this is 1987. One of these years, Elywnn Taylor will be right. But heck, I predict in some coming year, the Pack will win SuperBowl again. I won't say which year, though.

Texans wanting to see a little rain water might consider moving to the head-waters of the Missouri, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers, because that's where HAARP is dumping all their rain water.
Satan's Geo-engineers decided to drought Texas and flood the mid-west long since.
Mother Nature has little say in the matter.

'87 was the first year I put in a crop. Here in the eastern half of Kansas it was a really good year. '88 was average for us. This year parallels 1980 most closely for us. The drought is moving steadily northeast, what I would like to know, and I am sure someone can tell me, was last summer LaNina, or did it start in the fall? The last 4 years here have been extraordinarily wet, then boom, it shut off about the first of September 2010.
Granddad always talked about the '30s and the '50s, it stands to reason to me that we are due for a string of hot dry years in Kansas.
What was '81 like for you guys up north?

I watched a show on tv where they was shooting coliadal (SP) silver into thunderstorms in texas to make it rain more.

Silver Iodide is used to seed clouds to make it rain.
Silver colloid is used to strengthen immune system and kill germs.
