Farmers feeling the effects of a drier than normal Nebraska SpringLINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Across Nebraska, farmers have been dealing with less moisture than they’ve needed, causing drier pastures. “Our pastures are short, and in the spring, it didn’t rain so much,” said farmer Tom Peterson. They’re not short, they’ve got grass, but we’re trying to get them all the way through the fall. Cattle prices are good but products are short so the input prices go up because things are short.
