## Resource

North Dakota’s brutal heatwave is throwing farming into chaos, forcing crops like hay, wheat, and oats to sprint through their growth cycles—leaving farmers racing against time to harvest before quality plummets. With plants blooming early and hay needing two quick cuts, the pressure is relentless. Livestock are suffering too: cattle face lower weaning weights and potential conception drops, while toxic algae blooms threaten water supplies. Compounded by drought in western North Dakota, farmers are scrambling to monitor water safety and battle rising fly populations—all while balancing survival against shrinking windows of opportunity.
