Harding County, SD
Start Date: 4/9/2017
- End Date: 6/23/2017
No significant rain since mid April. Crops are up but not growing. Not good enough to hay. Pasture grass is short and drying out. Dryland hay is minimal because of drought and frost. Some fields not good enough to hay. Dams are dry or very low without significant runoff to fill or refresh. Grazing is holding its own for now, but will not last all summer.
