To sup up: corn, soybeans, spring and winter wheat, oats, and rice are as bad or worse than they've been since the drought started. Winter wheat is especially bad. Cotton, peanuts and rice are worse than last year, but not as bad as 2011. Range land is better than last year, but about the same as 2011, which was 20% worse than 2010.

At first I was as much as anything startled at the notion you were farming rice. Then I realized it wasn't personal.

Thanks for keeping track. :/
