Drought, floods impact nay crop: Helping horse owners cope

摘要

There is an old Italian proverb that says, "Your plate is always full of what you don't want." I am sure that when my grandmother taught that to me she didn't have the weather in mind, but that sentiment certainly can be applied to this year's climatic problems. Severe droughts are baking some areas of the country, while heavy rains and flooding soak others. In the center of all of this extreme weather are the nation's cattle and horses and the crucial hay crop that is needed to sustain them.
