Wyoming seeks more hay in 1944 to feed larger livestock herd
Extension agronomist Geo W Boyd warns that Wyoming must boost hay production in 1944 due to a larger cattle population and short feed supplies this winter. He cites better irrigation water use, renovation, and fertilizer on hay meadows as essential, noting native and tame grasses often require substantial renovation especially heavy sods of brome or native grasses.
