Very worried about drought next year in the middle of the continent.
It's been fall in Southern Alberta for the last three months. I can count the cold days on a hand and three days where it snowed. There's going to be a drought the likes of which have never been seen.

Me too. (It doesn't help that my book goes into the 1950s drought and why so few noticed it.)

I have family who farmed in Southwest Kansas from before the Dust Bowl up through the 70s, and the drought of the 50s was barely a footnote to them because of center pivot irrigation.

Exactly. Tapping the aquifer changed everything.

Clearly we should do that again, one fresh aquifer please
