Schaumburger: Here in Central Illinois we are on water restrictions. The drought is getting very serious. Some of the farmers say they have lost half of their corn and soybean crops. This means higher food prices in the next few months. Our yards look like a desert and the golf courses are beginning to look like goat ranches. Yes, send some of that rain this way!!
