BOISE, Idaho (RFD News) — Drought conditions are creating challenges for farmers and ranchers across Idaho.
Producers say dry weather has reduced yields and put pressure on pasture and water supplies, forcing some operations to adjust harvest and livestock plans. Those losses are becoming harder to absorb as operating costs remain high.
All 44 Idaho counties are currently under an emergency drought declaration.
