Winter outlook bleak for drought weary cattlemen
WICHITA AP drought plagues Kansas cattlemen with water shortages and shrinking hay as a lingering drought dominates the state. Ken Cook of the National Weather Service warns relief is unlikely this winter while south central Kansas endures the worst conditions. Rancher Jerry McReynolds hauls water daily, culling herd size to 170 cows and relying on CRP hay to survive. Kansas hay production falls to 5.5 million tons, with alfalfa down to 2.7 million as shortages bite amid tight stocks of other forage.
