Pasture regrowth on a Cheshire County farm was slow to nonexistent, due to drought, according to the producer. He rotates his lambs on the pasture, but that will not help if the pasture does not regrow.
A dairy farm was also struggling with reduced hay yields and slow growing feeding pastures.
Trees at an apple orchard in Walpole had yellow leaves, and lawns on the grounds were brown.
