SUMMARY: The content describes the negative impact of a prolonged drought on agriculture in the state of Mississippi in the year 2023. The drought resulted in low yields on crops and caused hardships for farmers, particularly peanut and cotton growers. It also had negative effects on cattle and tree farmers. Some crops like watermelons and squash were less affected, while others like blueberries were damaged due to a hard freeze. Despite difficulties, farmers are optimistic about the future, as good moisture and prices are expected in 2024. Peanut growers plan to attend an annual meeting in February.
