Our small family farm in northeast Marion County, Georgia, has never seen a drought this severe. Our 2016 pasture grazing, hay crop and corn production has been greatly impacted due to limited rain this year. We have been forced to supplement feed for our cows and swine. We don't have the hay sales that was to have covered our fertilizer expense. And, it's too dry to plant a winter grazing crop.
