We’re Here in Good and Bad Times

As a part of the agricultural community, we know how tough farming can be at times.  With the current drought among us, together we are facing the struggles.  Over the course of the summer, more than half of the country has been under moderate to extreme drought – the largest are of the US affected by such dryness in nearly 60 years.  Nearly 1,300 counties in 29 states have been declared federal disaster areas.  Click here to see the map showing areas under moderate to extreme drought during the summers from 1896 to 2012.

There isn’t a whole lot to say…but if you are being affected, please know that we are here for you and on your side, in good times and bad.
