We had a pretty dry summer in my area too. Do the farmers over there get subsidies like they do over here? That seems to help a little bit when things like this happen. Oddly enough though, despite the lower rainfall, we still seemed to have a pretty good corn crop around us this summer.
They get primary producer subsidies yes, discounts on things they need and all, but it's costly still and often a struggle unless it's a boom year.
Yeah, I can only imagine. My uncle and a couple of my cousins are farmers. I know some of the struggles they have had over the years. I used to go work on the farm in the summer when I was a kid.
