We
don't spend a lot of time in Dumas talking about the weather:
it's mild, with four distinct seasons, and as hospitable to wildlife
as it is to people. We're located in the High Plains region of Texas,
a place with relatively little precipitation, sunny skies, and a dry
climate conducive to good health. Immediately east of town the landscape
gives way to the rolling, rough, scenic terrain of the Canadian River
breaks. Sunsets and prairie sky landscapes here will take your breath
away, and you'll see colors in the firmament that leave an indelible
imprint.
What
Dumas lacks in rainfall it makes up for by its location atop the
Ogalalla Aquifer. This underground reservoir has helped make Moore
County and the surrounding region the most productive agricultural
region in the world. The even climate is perfect for a wide variety
of crops, and for large-scale animal feeding operations.
