| 1980 was a drought year for us. With out irrigation we would have had nothing. That summer was very hot an dry. About twenty days over 100 degrees an lots off wind. 1983 was another dry hot year. In 1989 it was just plain dry but not overly hot. Again irrigation proved to be the difference. The rest off the eighties werent to bad weatherwise or moisture. Pretty good for corn production. The 1970s had some off our coldest winters. an lots off snow as well. also some bad droughts 1974,75,76 were prettyy rough for crop production. This winter has been cold but nothing like that. We used to think at the time that was normal for winter just plain cold an miserable. We have been spoiled pretty bad the last few years in the nice winters we have had. This is more normal in the cold years I can remeber.
