Range Feed Report Highlights July 1 Western Drought Impact
The Agricultural Economics Bureau reports dry hot weather last month reduced range feed to the lowest July 1 level since 1936 in the west, with eastern areas like Eastern New Mexico and Kansas hardest hit. In New Mexico the condition is mostly dry in the eastern half, while northwest and mountain regions remain generally good. Supplemental feeding continues in central and southeast New Mexico as alfalfa prospects are poor and stock water is scarce. Cattle and sheep are strong but below average.
