Light showers help crops but arrive too late for drought areas

Light showers aided crops across eastern Montana including Lewis and Clark and nearby counties, but the rains came too late to ease the drought damage. Agricultural officials report near cloudburst amounts in places such as Townsend West to Canyon Creek and Iron Basin north to Wolf Creek, with haying progressing despite a 22 inch precipitation deficiency for the month. Scattered sections show better conditions, though irrigation water shortages threaten some northern Lewis and Clark hay yields. Rain fell in parts of the state, helping river areas and dampening forest fire danger, but not reversing the driest losses. The drought continues as scattered hail and insect damage affect garden crops in isolated spots.
