Weather brings welcome rain as farmers plan poisoning
The weather man favors this locality with light to heavy showers all day and a few days of similar rain anticipated. Moisture boosts pastures and vegetation while grasshoppers decline with damp weather. Farmers plan poisoning when conditions permit. A field accident near the Teton river injures Chris Hoerman but avoids worse harm. Community visits and a music recital round out the report with local residents in Conrad and Dutton sharing events and hospitality.
