Area ranchers are busy hauling bales from field to haystacks as a very fine season indeed is coming to a close. Haying was delayed a couple of weeks after a wonderful wet growing season came to pass, and June rains kept many folks from their fields. But that too may have been a good thing, as wheat grass and sweet clover were slow to mature. This growing season was a savior to many, after two years of getting little to no hay. Many also faced shipping hay in and reducing herd sizes after one of the most brutal winters in local history. Home...

Thursday, August 4, 1988 Full-fledged drought by Shirley Stuver A final July week of sweltering heat and southeast winds brought the average high for the month to 94.03 degrees at the “cool” Broadus weather station, and also brought the admission from even the most optimistic residents that “this is a full-fledged drought.” In computing July temperature means, it is hard to believe… but July of 1936 was even warmer, if Miles City records are valid for comparison.
