Lac qui Parle County Minnesota | 1976 was our bad drought year. All the corn we had went into one silo for the cows. I remember getting a lot of hay through our church from farmers in Nebraska. But I was only 11 so it didn't seem so bad. 1988 was my first bad year with drought. I was still milking cows so we got by okay. Hay was again a little short but I think I had every neighbor in a 5 mile radius offering their roadside ditches for free. Had a few dry years but those are the two that stand out the most for me. |
