Nearly 100 ranchers were listed as needing hay on a North Dakota State University website for connecting ranchers with hay. The increased demand for hay drove prices to twice the normal cost.

Several websites offer information for North Dakota farmers and ranchers in need of or selling hay. Rep. Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., have drought information and resource pages on their congressional websites. The North Dakota Department of Agriculture also has an online interactive drought map displaying locations of hay for sale, land for rent and those able to haul hay. Cramer’s page can be found at http://bit.ly/2skizTo. Heitkamp’s page is at http://bit.ly/2rowZRa. The interactive map can be found at http://bit.ly/2sBGWz4.
