Illinois Not As Dry As Other Parts of Midwest

Certain parts of Illinois are very dry, but nothing like Montana. The state has been ravaged by drought and wildfires and the impact has impacted virtually every farmer and rancher says Hans McPherson with the Montana Farm Bureau. He spoke with the RFD Radio Network Thursday.
 
 
McPherson describe the smoky conditions he's been experiencing. 
 
 
In addition, McPherson says the Montana winds are not relenting this summer, which has escalated the problem. He adds that growth of hay and alfalfa in irrigated fields has also been stalled because there has been very little sunlight with all of the smoke in the air.
