May 2019

temps have been 10 degrees above normal all month, and we are looking at the heat keeping up for at least a week ahead.

I take that back, just looked at the long range forecast for June....it isn't gonna let up.

which means potential power outages because of A/C demands.

And crop failures. Most cotton, soybean farmers do not irrigate.
