Prairie farmers pray for rain as drought, grasshoppers ravage crops and pastures

  CALGARY Canadian farmers are calling for emergency disaster relief as drought ravages crops and pastures across the Prairie provinces and beyond. Scorching temperatures and little to no rainfall have left crops in poor condition across wide swaths of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In some parts of the country, grasshoppers have infested fields. Several municipalities have declared states of agricultural disaster and ranchers say they are running out of hay to feed their cattle.

Much of the crop he planted for grazing didn t germinate at all and the parched soil is cracking.
