Droptine... I am in the exact same boat. I talked to one of the DOW guys and he said they had 20,000 more apps this year for some reason. Plus my thinking is that with the harsh winter on the eastern plains more guys put in for some of the western side. Hoping to pull one out of the leftover draw now. Good luck to you if your putting in for that also.
Happy trails
