The plight of farmers in drought-ravaged New England is bolstering calls for revised disaster relief provisions in the next Farm Bill. The U.S. Drought Monitor says that a quarter of the region is suffering severe drought or worse. The dry spell comes after heavy snow and flooding in the region last winter, leading many to point to climate change as the culprit behind farmers' recent troubles. [Source: Politico]
