The drought continues across much of West Central Texas. This drought has been ongoing since November 2005 and peaked during the summer of 2006.  The drought that extended into December affected dry land farmers during the early stages of the winter wheat crop.  The drought also limited the amount of grasses available for livestock forcing ranchers to either sell their livestock or pay for expensive feeds.  Area livestock farmers are having difficulty with stock ponds running low and little surface water to help.  Local reservoirs continue to drop, mainly due to municipal water use.  Dollar values for 2006 will not be available until March of 2007.
