Tennessee farmers were feeding their livestock hay as drought began affecting the state in September, limiting pasture grazing. January precipitation amounted to about 5 inches of rain, but the moisture came down so quickly that it ran off rather than soaking into the soil. Farmers need better soil moisture before spring planting to get a decent crop.
