A deepening drought is afflicting a large swath of Texas, from the Rio Grande Valley to Central and East Texas, once again putting Texas ranchers' livelihoods in peril.

So far, 2020 has some of the same fingerprints of 2011, Nielsen-Gammon said."You can't have a year like 2011 unless you start off dry," he said."So far, we've started out dry."

Gerald Nobles Jr. breeds cows and sells the calves from his ranch in Brady, Texas, about 130 miles west of Austin. He has watched in dismay as the drought shriveled the grass on his ranch and as his 300 heads of cattle grazed it nearly down to dirt. "When do you say 'uncle' and say, 'I can't take this anymore?'" said Nobles, 68."We’re at that decision-making time right now."
