    Your dress code is too strict. Yours can burn.

    If the Old River Control Structure (ORCS) were to fail, barge navigation might be interrupted for weeks and possibly months. Barge traffic on the new mainstem of the river--down the Atchafalaya’s channel—would be limited or impossible during the initial months of the channel change, due to turbulent and dangerously unstable conditions. At the split in the river’s channel at the ORCS, the river would dump a massive amount of sediment, potentially blocking navigation downriver on the old Mississippi channel towards Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Navigation might still be possible for a few months after the event with extensive dredging efforts, but the blockage might become so great mere dredging may not keep a clear channel for barge traffic, requiring that a new navigation lock be constructed—a multi-year project costing $100+ million. Closure of the Mississippi to shipping would cost the economy $295 million per day, said Gary LaGrange, executive director of the Port of New Orleans, during the great flood of 2011. Closure for multiple months would cause a cascade of impacts across a broad sector of the U.S. economy, multiplying costs.

    Not only late planting but much of it had to be replanted

    How much rain are we getting? Watch the following video. Remember that all of this goes straight to the Mississippi...

    Add another 16 Billion to the 15 billion! That is 31 billion going to the farmers now!

    Get ready for new trucks all over the highway!

    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Everything past 7 days is all based off of averages so it’s worthless

    the lack of rain isn't

    I like hot weather because I'm not a yankee, but I also like rain every so often

    It was depressing riding around my place yesterday and looking at what the lack of rain has done. I had one of the best stands of corn I've planted and at this point not sure if it is going to make it. Its so dang hot and dry even my weeds are dying...The positive is I am saving a lot of money on fertilizer and chemicals this year.

    I still haven't decided if I am going to replant or not...
