Water from an irrigation system sprays flowering cotton plants on the farm of Allen Entz in Hydro, Okla, Thursday, Aug. 16, 2012. Even with the irrigation system to help with the drought, the high temperatures in the area have affected the crop, as it can take 35-40 hours for the center pivot irrigation system to make it back to irrigate any particular plant. Drought conditions across Oklahoma have expanded and worsened despite recent rainfall in the state, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor report released Aug. 16, 2012. (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)
