Drought forcing some Minnesota cattle farmers into early retirement
(FOX 9)
GOODHUE COUNTY, Minn. (FOX 9) - As drought intensifies in Minnesota, cattle farmers are being left to make the tough choice: sell off the herd or overpay for feed.
At Brenny Farms in southern Minnesota, the hay barn should be full right now as the supply usually isn’t dipped into until the winter. However, this year with the drought conditions, the cows will likely be getting this hay next month. We’re getting to that point where we just don’t have a whole lot of options here, said cattle farmer Katie Brenny.

Due to the dramatic increase in corn prices, some producers are looking for feeding alternatives.
“When corn is increasing like it has been over the past few months, that has caused our cost of gains to go up, as well as the cost of everything else to go up. So when we start looking for corn alternatives, nothing else is cheaper. It drove the price of everything else up, so that is the challenge people are having right now,” said Karl Hoppe, North Dakota State University livestock systems extension specialist for the Carrington Research Extension Center.
