A Dutch farmer choked up when I asked him what he loves about farming.
"Working with nature," he said. "I know the families of my cows better than I do my own family. I can tell you about his mother, his grandmother."
He's afraid he'll lose them if the government gets its way.
So things are hot🥵and dry🏜️and crops are in 📉 out here on the Canadian Prairies and you may wonder how this stacks up with other droughts we've had. If you'll indulge me I'll break this down a bit with some data from Saskatoon.
