United States Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack visited with Minnesota farmers, who shared their accounts of drought on their farms. He learned that sale barns were turning livestock owners away as there was no one to purchase the livestock. Yet there was no hay or grazing land to sustain the animals. Vilsack said that he would strive to get additional aid for farmers.
