Hello! I live 15 miles west/northwest of Mandan, North Dakota. We have received roughly 0.70" of moisture since April 1, 2017. Driest I have seen it. Due to the winter weather and dry spring, the native pasture did not grow this year. Making plans to liquidate cattle. Surface water is drying up and becoming unusable for cattle. Small grains that did grow are being harvested for hay.
