Some people are claiming "drought" when it's really over grazing of broodmares and babies in an operation that runs like a puppy mill for horses. |

Location: That part of Texas | I can't say for sure but I think the panhandle area of Oklahoma is still in as bad of a drought condition that we are here in Texas. If I'm not mistaken, I think a good part of Guymon got transported to Amarillo on Tuesday in this dust storm. Nothing like red Okie dirt all over everything the next morning.

| Was just a meeting in DC with an NRCS guy from Oklahoma, he says most defiantly still in a drought over the majority of the state.
Iowa isn't far behind. Mud season is mostly over. |

Location: Oklahoma | My neck of the woods (SE part) isn't too bad right now. We got a LOT of rain on Saturday... but I think we're one of the few counties that isn't considered dry right now. |

The north LA/south AR part, it's more like not as muddy as normal this winter rather than actually dry. Driving around the Hot Springs area a couple of weeks ago, their lakes are still very low even though they have gotten rain. |

| Some of our eastern oregon reserviors are at 30% right now, so even here in Oregon we had a pretty dry winter. It's not looking good for the farmers in Klamath County who lost all of their water rights to the tribes! They'll be wanting hay from north of them and there's not going to be much to spare. |

Location: Sperry, OK | What a lot of people don't realize is.. we may have had snow and ice this winter, but it doesn't equate to waterfall. It takes 10" of snow to equal 1" of rain. So I live just North of Tulsa, OK. We had and inch or 3 total of snow this winter.. so really no moisture to help the soil conditions. We are still in a drought! |

You all are making me wonder about it too, but I don't know what it is I should be pondering here. I am clueless and unable to read between the lines here. Cliff note version please? |

| Texas........ rain picked up east of I45 from north of Houston to barely reaching Dallas and headed for Louisiana .... good heavy rainfall and snows ... moisture all stayed in the east texas area ...
West of I45 spotty showers and ranch/farm land in trouble ........the area i35ish from Lubbock/Amarillo to Austin, San Antonio to Brownsville and west to Mexican border are parched and lakes are 70% dry ... ranchers have sold their cattle and everything is in dire shape ... except the golf courses ..
Oklahoma ... west of I35 to Okla City and due north is dry and bad news .... east of I35 and south of I 40 to Texas border is surviving and ranchers are decreasing the cattle numbers to Arkansas border .. the snow and sleet this area had was evaporated by the strong winds before it could soak into the ground ................ ......... I40 runs east and west dividing the state in half ... north of I40 has had rain when no one else has ... so from Okla City north of I 40 to Kansas border should be the greenest 1/3 part of Okla ...

Whatever the reason - drought, over grazing or lack of hay.............there is a broodie I would love to have from the "drought" part of the state. |

| I told my husband a couple months ago that even though everybody thinks we are fine, we better buy first cut hay before everybody realizes we arent going to get much and jacks the price way up again. The ground is still pretty dry even though weve had a lot of rain. It only comes in little spurts. :( |

Is there still a drought in Oklahoma??
