Government Considers Aid To Drought-Affected Farmers

GOLSSEN, GERMANY - AUGUST 15: Cows, some of which were hours later loaded onto a wagon to be taken to slaughter because there is too little feed due to the recent drought, stand at a parched meadow near Landwehr on August 15, 2018 near Golssen, Germany. Southern Brandenburg state has been hit especially hard by the recent drought and heat wave. A local farmer is predicting a 50% loss for his grains harvest and 70% for his sunflowers. The German government is due to hold discussions next week over aid to farmers affected by the drought. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
