Drought has persisted into the winter in Wyoming, leaving hay growers short on hay to sell and ranchers short on hay for their livestock. A hay grower in Powell in northern Wyoming said that he usually sells his hay in Canada and the East Coast, but the demand for hay locally was so high that he had none left to ship elsewhere. With higher demand, hay prices rose from $125-$150 per ton to $300 per ton.
