“Groundwater’s really low, wells are low, springs are running really slow to sometimes even drying out, completely. So it’s harder to get water, it’s harder to get the grass to grow, to feed animals if you have livestock. And we are seeing farms that are selling off cows just because they don’t have the resources to maintain them,” according to a Belmont County agricultural and natural resources educator.
