May be good drying fire wood fast but the prices we all will see at the grocery store will be more than the offset the burning of dry firewood.
Another good thing; maybe they will smarten up & not add corn ethanol to the gasoline.
Don't hold your breath though. Gov't subsidized.
You guys went from "the winter that wasn't" to serious heat & drought.
Time for a serious "naked around a bon-fire" rain dance. LOL
No pictures plez
That is nuts, we are dry but not even close to that. This afternoon they are calling for some heavy rains with possible high winds, our luck it will stay North and South of us.

Its a bit different here. The jetstream which has caused so much dry heat over you guys has been below us, and we have had the wettest April - mid July spell since records began. Most of our crops are waterlogged, and it's a really bad year for drying wood. I'm just glad we have all our 2012-13 season wood stored away in our garage and greenhouses, as it's already nicely seasoned and it'll stay dry now. Fortunately, it looks like the jetstream here is moving north, which should warm thing up and dry things out a bit. Harvestwise, it's a salvage job, and as far as our own small patch goes, we have written most of our veg plot off, with any crops we do get being a bonus. Something tells me that we may get a nice surprise come fall
Today was the third day in a row for rain in my area. The ground is soaking it up quickly now. (Well the rain stopped about 1 hour ago.) My area has had a slight bit more rain the last two months than north of me a couple of counties. They got some rain yesterday. Most likely too little too late for the crops there though.
