Powder River Valley Crops Show Mixed Prospects
Unusually scanty rainfall has left Powder River Valley looking semi arid with some crops faring well while others near failure. Farmers remain hopeful for price gains in fall to offset losses though hay crops including alfalfa, wild hay, timothy and clover look to meet or exceed prior yields. Some meadows may suffer due to late frosts and deficient winter and spring rain.
