A Sharp County cattle farmer felt that he was behind in hay production with grasses that were planted this winter not growing. Row crop growers in northeast Arkansas have found the dry weather of the past few weeks to be helpful and letting them get crops planted early. With seeds in the ground, rain was needed to get them to germinate.
