Castor, you do realize that the temperature data is only for the months of June, July, and August of each year and not the average annual temperature, right?

Good seed Colorado.

Good seed Colorado.

Agreed. A good graph says it all - and these speak volumes.

Side note: my sister watches only Fox News. She told me yesterday that she hasn't heard anything about a drought in Texas. But she's hears a lot about the cold/snow in Alaska.

Tell her #2 cotton is 93 cents a pound, and Texas, not Alaska produces that item.
