Minnesota seeks federal aid amid drought and fodder shortages
Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Wisconsin face severe drought with hay and forage in short supply. Farmers sell cattle as pastures dry, grain crops shrink, and emergency federal aid is sought from the Farmers Home Administration and ASCS. Gov. Anderson asks Ford to designate 40 counties for hay and feed grain aid. Leaders urge lenders and officials to use emergency programs now.
