Florida Faces Severe Drought Strains Cattle and Water Supplies
Florida endures its worst drought in years with virtually the entire peninsula without rain since March. Cattle are starving on parched range and weight losses push beef prices higher. Officials seek disaster designation for federal loan access while wildfires burn across 217 sites, totaling 6,435 acres. Desalination efforts advance in Key West as counties declare emergencies to curb fire risk.
