Hail Storm Ravages Crops Across Cheyenne County
A destructive hail storm north and east of Huntsman damaged wheat fields across Cheyenne County. Loss estimates range from ten to ninety percent in affected areas with some fields beyond recovery where straw has broken. The storm, three miles south of Gurley, also brought heavy rain and moisture, leaving roads rough but not slippery, and followed by another hail event north of Lodgepole. Overall prospects for a large crop remain uncertain amid ongoing unsettled weather and risk of further hail.
