Thank goodness for 100% humidity and plentiful Gulf moisture the past few weeks, the drizzle, mist and fog has managed to provide a little dampness on the very top layer of soil the past few weeks, otherwise it has gotten VERY dry. Lots of farmers had to re-plant their wheat after their first one or two plantings were eaten up by army worms, and the latest sowings are not doing well at all, showing real signs of drought stress.
We will take that Thanksgiving blizzard if that's what it takes to get some moisture.
