Southern farmers to get aid from Canada amid heat drought
Drought stricken farmers in the South will receive foreign aid from Canada as heat continues to scorch Texas to Georgia. The drought has caused billions in damage with hundreds of tons of hay shipped to feed livestock and National Guard trucks distributing relief across Georgia and other states. Canada plans 200 truckloads of hay to Georgia and the Carolinas, while Delaware and parts of Maryland Alabama and South Carolina gain disaster declarations for low interest farm loans.

Sunspot theory linked to drought sparks debate
Cornell professor Douglas Paine links the Southeast drought to sunspot activity in the 1970s and predicts possible 1987 continuation. Another expert cautions the theory cannot reliably forecast dry spells, noting correlations but not causation in sunspot cycles and regional drought.
