Drought means no hay crop
The drought is a headache for homeowners but it’s jeopardizing business for farmers.
Bone-dry fields can't support hay crops, causing a shortage in Tifton in south Georgia and other Georgia towns. Hay is a key part of Georgia's 50-billion dollar agriculture industry.
One Tifton farmer says he could only scrape up bales of hay to feed his 300 head of cattle this week. A farmer in nearby Berrien County hopes to use a bin of rye seed to feed his 200 cattle.
