Roberts County Fire Hay Bale Donations

An estimated half million acres of Roberts County were burned during the recent Smokehouse Fire, and hundreds of hay bales are being donated and piled up at the Roberts County Airport but more will be needed pending the weather conditions over the next six to eight months.

Some County officials say this could be a two-year process for farmers and ranchers to restock.

The growing concern is if Roberts County does not get the moisture it needs,

Ag producers and ranchers will need donations of hay well into the year 2025 and beyond.

The hay bales at the Rpberts County Airport, they hauled off by a rancher who needs them to feed his livestock.

There are thousands of cattle and hundreds of horses that need hay even as the county copes with a significant loss of livestock from the Smokehouse Creek Fire.
