I rely heavily on the pastures I have to feed the sheep in the Spring and Summer. Unfortunately this year we have not had much rain yet and it is making me a little nervous.
The little rain we did have started some of my grass seed growing but since we’ve had virtually no precipitation since then it has actually started to turn yellow and brown. I’m just hoping for some measurable rain very soon so that all of it doesn’t die before it got a chance to be even an inch tall!
The other concern of mine comes with what this potential drought means for the hay crops this year. If we don’t get enough rain it could have a serious impact on hay yields and prices come Spring.
I’m just trying not to worry since we often do get lots of rain in February, March and April. Plus there is not a lot I can do about it one way or another. This situation is clearly not under my control!
