Pastures Excellent Across Idaho

Fruitvale--In Adams county Idaho the never ending spring rains have had a positive impact on pasture lands. This angus herd in Fruitvale, Idaho has plenty of green grass to eat.

"It's looking good across the board," said Idaho Farm Bureau Range expert Wally Butler. "With hay off to a slow start this extra forage has really helped our Ranchers out. The only downside is that the heat will turn the grass brown awfully quick at the lower elevations." Butler added that hay prices will stay up until supply improves later this summer.
