The pastor of a rural church held a “Pray for Rain” worship service as drought persists for a third year. People attended from as far away as Wyoming. Some ranchers are considering selling off their herds if they don't have enough grass for their cattle this spring and summer. Hay stockpiles are dwindling, and some ranchers anticipate just half of normal grass production this year.
“Pray for Rain. Plan For Drought,” is a special project by the South Dakota Grassland Coalition and its partners. The purpose of the project is to provide resources to help mitigate the impacts of long-term drought conditions.
