Default Lack of rain may cause a huge loss

If this drought keeps up as most "experts" expect, I am afraid we will experience a lot of deer dying from the midge fly disease(forgot what its really named). A few years ago several deer were found dead by farmers and hunters because of this disease which is caused by hot dry weather in late summer and early fall. Lets keep our fingers crossed for the farmer's crops and for the deer herds to not be affected.
