Germany’s ongoing drought is putting growing pressure on farmers. In Ipsheim, the Zeller family has been forced to reduce its cattle herd as feed supplies dwindle and costs rise. The farm expects lower milk production and significant crop losses after weeks without rain. Experts say farmers are also facing higher fertilizer, fuel and transport costs. As climate change brings more frequent dry periods, scientists and farmers are exploring new water-management strategies and more drought-resistant crops to keep agriculture viable in the future.
