I farm up in north central WA and keep track of little things like drought conditions. Here is a link to the official government drought monitor website. Click on the state of Texas and your heart can not help but go out to the farmers trying to maintain through this disaster.

According to a friend who has family in Texas they're turning away people trying to bring their animals to slaughter or auction, too many to handle. Farmers and ranchers are trying to truck water into their animals but many are dying from dehydration. Heat and water deprivation combined make a particularly nasty way to die.
