Mississippi farmers sell cattle due to drought
SUMMARY: Farmers in Mississippi are being forced to sell their cattle due to a severe drought. Over 3,000 heads of cattle were sold at Tadlock Stockyard on Monday, the largest number the stockyard has ever seen. The lack of rain has caused a scarcity of grass for the cows to eat, making it difficult for them to gain weight. As a result, many farmers are selling their cattle at lighter weights. The dry conditions are also impacting water sources, with some cattle running out of water. Farmers are hopeful for more rain in the near future. The drought has also led to increased stress among farmers, with a rise in suicides.

SUMMARY: Calhoun County in Mississippi has joined several other counties in implementing a burn ban due to severe drought conditions. The lack of rainfall and low humidity levels are increasing the risk of fires in the area. The ban prohibits any outdoor burning unless controlled by the Mississippi Forestry Commission. Fires can easily start in these dry conditions, even from something as small as a tossed cigarette or loose chains on a trailer. Farmers are unable to burn their fields, which may be frustrating but is necessary for safety. Other counties affected by the burn ban include Chickasaw, Grenada, Lee, and Monroe.
