Farm Affected by Drought in Germany

Signs of drought at an ecological farm in Hennef in North-Rhine-Westphalia. Dry soil, lack of feed for livestock, dried up paddocks and dead trees show some of the impacts of the current drought in Germany. The last three years rainfall has only been half as much as normal on the farm, leading to very dry conditions.
