(ABC 6 News) - Minnesota hasn t seen this kind of drought in a long time, with 52 percent of the state now experiencing a severe drought.
As you can imagine, it s been tough on farmers. Time of heat with no rain is really going to cause a lot of damage, Gary Wertish, president of the Minnesota Farmers Union said.
Gary s concerned, not only for the farmers he advocates for but for his son. He farms in west-central Minnesota. We have a little bit of prices for the commodities for the grains but if you don t get a rainfall, you re not going to have much to sell, Wertish said.
