Belfield, North Dakota farmer/rancher Byron Richard says the western part of the state has been put through the wringer with wild swings in temperatures. “It’s a matter of extremes with high’s (a week ago) being in the 20’s and this week it was in the 90’s.” The calving season has gone better than last year for Richard. The early April snowstorm wasn’t terribly stressful on livestock, but Richard says the winter has been too long. “We dodged a bullet there and didn’t get as much snow as out east. To be honest with you, this is still the most snow I’ve seen since 2011.”
