Aug 12, 2006; Dumas, TX, USA; Center-pivot irrigated farms are seen Wednesday, July 26, 2006 over Dallam County in the Texas Panhandle. The advent of center-pivot irragation combined with low energy precision application (LEPA), which applies water closer to the ground and reduces evaporation loss, has led to better farming yields with less water usage than in the past. Estimated drought losses for Texas have reached $4.1 billion, eclipsing the $2.1 billion mark set in 1998, Texas Cooperative Extension economists reported Aug. 11. Crop losses are estimated at $2.5 billion and livestock $1.6 billion, according to the report. The current drought equals the multi-year dry period of the 1950s and could go down as the worst ever without substantial rainfall by the end of the year, according to Extension officials.
