The Idaho 2020 hay crop is late. The first cut usually comes at the end of May. But this year, three weeks of rain that's nearly 3 inches, slowed the first harvest.

 “Everything was going really good then we had rains come in again, the weather changed. For the past three weeks, we’ve been doing other things instead of hay because the weather wasn’t cooperating. So today we’re finally cutting some first cut and it's gone way past where we want it, but we’re going to go ahead and put it up. Get the ball rolling, everything in motion and hopefully we will put up some pretty hay and do it on time,” said Washington County farmer Tristan Winegar.
