Wyoming Couple Travels 430 Miles to Deliver Hay to Struggling Farmers

A Wyoming couple has jump-started their big rig and hit the road in an effort to provide hay to farmers affected by the drought. Nearly three to four times a week, the couple travels 430 miles from Rozet, Wyo., to Wild Rose, N.D., to pick up 26 round bales of hay that weigh 1,700-1,800 pounds each. They drive 430 miles back to Wyoming to deliver the bales to producers who are struggling to keep their herds fed due to the drought. While most bales are going for $250 or $300, the couple sells their bales for $165 — just enough to break even and cover transportation costs. Read more (Rapid City Journal).
