[QUOTE="klein, post: 880316, member: 23950"] and lets see and what happens when they update that standard of living next year after this : [B]Texas Drought, High Demand = High Food Prices?[/B] CBNNews.com Tuesday, August 30, 2011 Farmland has turned to blowing dust and the crops have failed. Forecasters predict the drought will last at least through November. The lack of water has also kept farmers and ranchers from growing hay in their pastures. The hay shortage is forcing them to either pay exorbitant prices for hay trucked in from other states or to sell off much of their livestock. "It's just tough. It's financial and emotional at the same time. We've probably got $500,000 to $750,000 impact of loss of sales," said Dick Bumstead, the owner of a farm in Huffman, Texas. "This goes right down the food chain into the grocery store and the people in Houston who live in the condos," he added. Experts say it will take years for ranchers and farmers to recover. The Texas drought is the worst on record for a single year and has so far cost $5 billion. Agriculture makes up almost nine percent of the Texas economy. [I]And now they say a return of El Ninja is on it's way for this winter - means less percepitation for the south, and more for the north ( a repeat of last years winter).- But my guess it, it will keep house prices down, so still be somewhat cheaper for housing in Texas.[/I] [/QUOTE]
