According to the U.S.
Drought Monitor, the West saw mostly dry weather dominated the West during
the drought-monitoring period.
Rapid surface drying and prematurely melting (or melted) snowpack had
led to a variety of agricultural and water-supply issues and concerns.
The Northwest has been especially dry in recent weeks, with topsoil moisture-as
reported by the U.S.
Department of Agriculture on June 15-rated 65% very short to short in
Montana, along with 56% in Oregon and 45% in Washington.
Unlike Oregon and Washington, Montana received some much-needed precipitation
in mid-June-but continued to experience agricultural drought
impacts.
For example, Montana's rangeland and pastures were rated 46% in very
poor to poor condition on June 15.
Among major production states, Montana led the nation on that date in
very poor to poor ratings for spring wheat (28% of the crop) and barley
(25%).
