Farmers adapt and hope relief amidst dry spell in Aiken
Farmers in Aiken County and across the South endure a severe dry spell with limited rain and high temperatures. Ronnie Cook of Wagener reports irrigation struggling to sustain thousands of cattle, hay, cotton and corn while other growers push for relief as forecasts show only small chances of rain this week. Local operators emphasize irrigation’s role in maintaining pasture and forage, noting some crops already under irrigation yield better results, while brown dirt marks drought-affected land.
