Texas AgriLife Extension economists reported last week that this year’s crop losses in Texas are already estimated at $2.6 billion, and livestock losses are close to $1 billion since November 2008. The U.S. Drought Monitor indicated Texas has the most land in the worst stage of drought in nearly a decade.

 In some parts of central Texas, half of the cotton, corn and sorghum crops—Texas’s primary exports—have already been wiped out by the drought. Grazing pastures are too dry for livestock, and many Texas ranchers are being forced to sell their cattle because they cannot feed them.
