The exceptional drought maintained its cruel grip over western north Texas during the month of August. Beneficial rainfall that occurred north of the Red River amounted to at most an inch and the climbing precipitation deficits that began during the late summer and early autumn of 2010 continued. The agricultural industry has obviously taken a huge hit from their crops to their cattle. The shortage of hay this year has caused farmers to sell the majority of their cattle, with some of them selling off their entire herd. Farm ponds are down to their last puddle. Most water that remains is hot and stagnant, making it useless. The long-range forecast is for La Nina to establish itself once again by later this year, with below normal precipitation and above normal temperatures.
