Drought has clearly impacted agriculture operations in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Kansas. Hay is in very short supply. "Right now there is no pasture, no hay and no end in sight," Texas Agricultural Commissioner Todd Staples said. "The need for hay is dire and getting more desperate each day.” Opportunity is created in two areas. First, the northern tier in North Dakota, Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan had very wet weather creating a surplus of hay. Second, the booming energy industry in the northern tier is moving equipment and pipe from the south creating a need for backhauls. If you have hay or trucks looking for a backhaul, it creates a win-win situation because the need is critical in the southern tier.
