Eastern Shore Drought Hurting Corn Crops

EASTON, Md. - Forecasters say parts of the Eastern Shore are suffering through a drought.
 
The U.S. Drought Monitor says the central Eastern Shore is in a moderate drought and the lower Eastern Shore is in severe drought conditions. Central and southern Maryland were rated as abnormally dry, although recent thunderstorms have helped. The monitor is a joint effort of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and other agencies.
 
Wendy McPherson, a U.S. Geological Survey hydrologist, says rainfall on the lower shore has been lacking for more than a year. Talbot County extension agent Shannon Dill says planting weather was good earlier this year in the midshore county, but a recent dry spell has left corn in need of rain.

Is it just me, or has everyone noticed the drastic change in our weather over the past several years?

Is it related to the chemicals being sprayed over head? Those planes are dumping tons of chemicals into the sky and there seems to be no apparent reason for it.

Any thoughts?

google "chemtrails". very interesting. no one seems to know why. the government is supposedly "messing" with the weather patterns. isn't that wonderful? just what we need....
do i dare suggest for corporate prayer for rain. all who believe; please pray for God's hand of mercy to act in our behalf. we truly need Him....

Yes, Mr. Anon 5:00, I have a thought. The next time you get dressed try putting the tin foil with the shiny side out.

Leave him alone stupid. He had a valid question. Your little inept attempt to put him down only shows how small and ignorant you are.

And yes, the weather patterns HAVE changed over time. I guess if I or he mentioned the beams the gov. is shooting into the ionsphere to alter weather you would say the same to me.

Get educated. Get off this blog now and then and learn something. Stupid people repeating what another stupid person says is not an education sonny.

You are welcome sir. Just getting a little tired of people attacking people for no reason and offering nothing of interest to read or counter with.

Have a nice weekend.
