While some areas are dealing with excessive rainfall and flooded fields, others continue searching for drought relief. Gary breaks down the evolving summer weather pattern, severe storm risks, hay production concerns, heat stress potential, and why a major heat event remains on his radar for early August. The conversation also explores how changing weather patterns could impact cattle producers, crop farmers, and forage production throughout the remainder of the growing season.
