Rain comes late in Virginia as beef cattle run out of grass
Drenching rains revive parched pastures and hayfields and boost soybeans in Virginia but arrive too late to help corn and other late summer crops. Cattlemen rushed to market after a dry summer left hay and grass scarce, with 700,000 beef cattle statewide. Five counties assess drought declarations as fall crops face uncertain prospects. The rain supports rivers and the wine industry as harvest for grapes continues through October.
