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.
