homa, but that doesn’t mean that this is the driest we’ve ever been; it’s just the driest during that period. This drought is a baby compared to the Dust Bowl drought.” But this drought has yet to see a full summer. “If you take the condi- tions we have now and ex- tend them into the sum- mer, you start to see the impacts increase expo- nentially. The conditions that lead to the Dust Bowl drought and the drought in the 1950s were cumu- lative,” McManus says. “There was below-average rainfall for the whole time period. You never can tell if we’re at the beginning of another decade-long drought. Only time will tell.”

For now, the Gosneys are doing alright. Their cattle still have enough to eat even if the grass is a little drier than usual. The new pond they built in the spring is still completely empty, but they have his- tory on their land, and perspective.


“In the 1950s the ponds


were all dry. I remember my dad going to the creek over there and digging with a shovel until he hit water,” John says. “We’d take buckets and put them in that hole and haul the water to a tank somewhere else. If we didn’t have the rural water line now, we wouldn’t be able to have cows out here on a lot of these places.”


In the 1950s, the Gos- neys saw many of their neighbors leave and move into town. But drought or no drought, they aren’t going anywhere. OL
