An Eastern South Dakota cattle producer says hay supplies are tight from drought across the Great Plains.
Alan Vedvei of Lake Preston tells Brownfield “Right now, hay supplies are really short all over South Dakota and Nebraska. We actually last year had to cut a little extra corn silage and then we put up whatever forage we could get like Sudan grass and put up some ruffage and baled some corn stalks and crop residue for feed.”
He says he’s optimistic about hay for the upcoming winter.
