Soil Moisture Plummets Amid Dry, Water Short Montana Regions
Ongoing lack of precipitation leaves topsoil short across most Montana areas and irrigation water dwindling in places. Some regions have cut irrigation, hay cutting is down, and stock water and range feed are scarce, prompting early livestock movement and crop-to-hay substitution as July rainfall remains well below normal. Weather records show July rainfall near zero in several sites after an extremely dry June.
