We live north of Roundup in Musselshell County. We have over 750 acres of dryland hay, which usually yields from 3/4 to 1.5 ton an acre. We have NO hay production this year. We have turned cows out to graze off the crested wheat grass (the wheat grass that did grow headed out at about 6 inches) in hopes it will rain later and come back. Alfalfa has wilted (looks like its been sprayed). BLM seeded a field of ours this spring--there is NOTHING coming up. All fields are dried up. Rainfall was .82 in April, 1" in May, .4 in June, with early heat (temps in the 90s in April) and terrible wind almost everyday.
