Max Armstrong shares insights on a recent survey that looks at how the drought is impacting farms and ranches

Max Armstrong reports on a survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation looking at the drought and what members are doing. The survey found that many are struggling based on higher feed costs, and the need to travel long distances to acquire feed. Max shares many tactics farmers and ranchers are using to reduce herds, boost pastures and more. And farmers are even changing crops they raise.
