The Big Drought: Southern and Midwest producers take biggest hit......Double whammy for Catfish sector !

摘要

It's been called the worst drought in half-a-century and its impact on the catfish and trout sectors of the southern and midwestern parts of the United States may be the last blow, particularly for catfish farmers, who have struggled through recent droughts along with competition from cheap Asian imports that have forced some to give up altogether. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) climate scientists warn that the worstmay be yet to come as climate change pushes weather patterns to the extreme.
