State meteorologists report that much of southeast Missouri is in D3 extreme drought. A University of Missouri Extension livestock specialist says this could cause a forage shortage for grazing animals, and points producers to the USDA Farm Service Agency's Livestock Forage Disaster Program, which has funds available.
Forage shortages can push ranchers to sell livestock or buy more feed, adding to demand for hay and feed ingredients and supporting local cattle and hay prices. The effect on national markets is limited because the impact is regional.
