Western South Dakota rancher Josh Geigle is grateful for a couple of wet, snowy days despite being about halfway through calving.
“I would say the precipitation is about equivalent to twenty-hundredths [of an inch] of rain each time and we’ve received that about three times in the last ten days,” Geigle told Brownfield Ag News. “It’s not a lot, but it’s a very welcome sight, for sure.”
A couple of weeks ago, 70-to-80-degree days with 30 to 40 mile-per-hour wind elevated the fire danger for Geigle and his neighbors.
