2016 was the driest year that I remember in my lifetime.
Yep , it was also very dry in 07 ish.
07 was the year I didn't plant until December. For us in south Marshall county, 06, 07, and 08 were the three driest, back to back years, in my lifetime. 06 and 08 weren't dry for most of the rest of Bama, but south Sand Mountain was like a desert.
My brother and I had cows together back then. One of those years we got 4 rolls of hay, on one cutting from a 5 acre Tifton 44 bermuda field. It was nearly knee high in most spots but very thin, and army worms got into it, so we cut it instead of spending more money on insecticide.
