In Pinedale we have had a drought for the last few years. We depend on
the winter snowfall for most of our water supply. When we are short on
snow we are short on water. When we are short on water we can't grow hay
for our animals. We receive an average of 10 inches of rain each year. We
have been at 75% of the snowpack or less the last two years.
Irrigation water has been scarce due to the drought of the past few
years. Ranchers have not been able to produce the normal amount of hay during these drought years.
That makes many ranchers short on feed, prices go up, and
many animals get sold due to lack of hay. |
