Can you ID what this is? mostly impacting our oaks (severely) – adjacent non-oak trees much less affected.
I have many theories but none of the oak diseases fit well into our symptoms.
Here are some more photos.

As you may remember – we milk dairy goats. At the moment we have 9 lamancha dairy goats, 8 in milk. Goat milk is naturally homogenized so it requires an expensive cream separator to get cream. With no cream you can not make butter!
Additionally, the amount of grain and hay and labor that goes into milking these 8 goats (which includes all the work to get them pregnant, help them deliver, etc etc) fails in comparison to the amount of milk we would get from one cow with much much less labor and cost.
(one of our neighbors down the street)We had a VERY close call here at Humble Garden.
(NASA satellite image of the track of this tornado through our area)We were missed being hit by the Massachusetts EF-4 1/2 mile wide tornado by only a 1/2 a mile – living near a climate induced disaster zone REALLLLY brings home climate change in a way thats almost down to the cells of the body.
Before, in some ways, climate change was academic – charts, presentations, news about far away Pakistan or Moscow, Joplin, MO.
