Cattle operations scramble to cool pens as temperatures near triple digits and humidity rises. Finney County Feedyard reports limited losses from heat and mud, while Terry Handke in Muscotah prepares with sprinklers and water tanks to cut heat by up to twenty degrees. Producers cut back feed and shift grazing, hoping drought and heat do not deplete scarce pastures. Kansas rangeland and corn face stress as heat lingers and yields may fall.
