The lack of rain left grass in the hayfield behind schedule. Some farmers were giving livestock hay, while others benefited from rain and were able to eke by on pasture grass.
A farmer in the Addison area sold three hundred square hay bales earlier this year, but now, with grass not growing well, he regretted the sale.
