Very little hay. Those fields that are worth cutting are running 1/2 to 3/4 bale per acre. Normal for us is 2 or more bales per acre. Half of the fields are not worth cutting at all. This comes on the heels of last year when we put up no hay at all. Little Missouri is abnormally low for this time of year. Dams caught minimal snow melt, and we did not have a big rain event to cause runoff to fill them. From Harding County, South Dakota, on June 23, 2017
