With the recent spike in heat, the question of pasture development comes to the forefront for almost every rancher. Darrell Oswald, Wing, North Dakota, is trying to consider every angle.”It may slow some things down, especially if there isn’t adequate moisture combined with the hot winds; it doesn’t take long to deplete your surplus moisture if you have any.,” said Oswald. “Weeds have also been a major consideration. I have heard some people in some areas that are dealing with wormwood and Canadian thistle, but if you’re grazing correctly and utilizing your forage, it shouldn’t be that big of a problem going forward.”
