This summer's drought and Texas' climate instability are affecting agriculture as crops die and the soil dries. Here's all Texans should be paying attention.
Record-breaking drought conditions are putting farmers and ranchers out of business.
Fortunately, they are among the minority of crops on Hope Farms that seem to be adapting to the drought conditions. "When you don't get that rain, the grass dies, and we are starting to see the trees take a hit. When we look back at the drought of 2011, we had thousands of trees die in Memorial Park alone, and we are probably going to see something similar if we don't get some rain sometime soon," Herzog said.
"We are getting to that point. Last year was a total bust, and this year is going to be a total bust. You can't stand that very many years in a row. It's hard to make your land payments and your mortgage payments," Miller said.Operating an urban farm with a well makes it easier to keep crops quenched.
