Drought Threatens Rockingham Hay Crop and Ranching
The prolonged drought endangers fall hay and forces Rockingham farmers to consider importing corn and hay to sustain dairy herds and cattle operations. Game warden Edward Michael warns mountain trout face possible extinction unless rainfall returns. Thousands of trout have been moved to pools and many pools may fail. Foliage burn from sun and drought turns leaves brown and trees shed. The farming community calls this the most serious crisis in years with farmers predicting a nearly two million dollar drop in purchasing power due to crop failures and lower prices.
