The 13+ years of drought in the U.S. Gem State of Idaho has resulted in the USDA declaring an emergency!
Cattle ranching is the number one agricultural endeavor in Idaho, not potato growing!
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is calling for emergency haying and grazing of cattle on public lands due to the ongoing drought.
There are some restrictions, but emergency haying will run through the end of August, and emergency grazing will run through September. The declaration is an attempt to help Idaho ranchers maintain their current stock.
13+ years of drought add up to big ass wildfire season for 2014!
13 year drought finally finished?
Idaho farmers being done in by drought more than a decade on!
