Dry weather is hurting Wisconsin’s hay, row crops

Dry weather in Wisconsin has farmers concerned about crops. 

Wisconsin Farmers Union President Darin Von Ruden has been harvesting a low-volume second crop of hay. “Some of the farmers are starting to put second crop up, but it’s less than half of what it should be.”

And, the Westby area farmer says he and many of his neighbors are already wondering if they will have enough hay to get their dairy and beef herds through the winter.
