A Warren County cattle producer began providing feed at the end of July because there was nothing growing for the livestock to eat, apart from weeds. He got just one good cutting of hay and purchased additional hay bales from local farmers. The 300 cattle were rotated among pastures, and 30 to 40 head may be sold before the end of the year. Conditions were so dry that a spark could ignite a fire that would consume the farm. They were praying for rain.
