UP makes hay to help Colorado ranchers


advertisement

Union Pacific Railroad is lending a hand to drought-stricken ranchers in southwestern Colorado by offering to transport hay from Wisconsin free of charge.


Central Wisconsin agricultural producers recently donated 15 box cars of hay (each holding about 118 bales), which UP plans to move about 1,400 miles from Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., to Alamosa, Colo. Trucks then would transport the hay to Durango, Colo., for distribution to ranchers.
