Default RE: Severe drought N Illinois?

ORIGINAL: drstalker

Just wondering what you all thought about this.How will this drought effect deer feeding patterns this season?With little or no corn and soybeans,what will the deer forage on most?Also how does the drought effect oaks producing acorns.
i dont know what corn/beans your looking at but in Northwestern Illinois the Corn is about 4-5 feet tall, and the Beans are right around 1.5' tall and all is looking green as ever.

i am not doubting we have a droubt but it depends on what kind of irragation the farms have... most of the farms around here use the rivers and deep wells.

i dont personally think its gonna have that big of an effect on the herds
