Wheat harvest is underway on the Palouse and the drylands to the west of Spokane. It’s not looking good.
Fifth generation farmer Ryan Poe previously told 4 News Now that it was the driest spring he’d ever seen. Now, he’s seeing the effects of that with some of his wheat and canola fields.
“Our yields are definitely lower than we’ve seen here the last couple of years,” he said of his canola yields.
It’s not just crops, either. Ranchers are having to reduce the size of their herds because there is a lack of food and water for them.
