Tonkawa in Kay County has not received measurable rain in nearly 60 days. The extreme heat was drying out the crops, and wheat, grass and alfalfa production was halved. Hay prices were double. More and more cattle were being sold to market. Alfalfa was short and was not growing.
Farmers hoped others would join them in praying for rain.
