THE PROLONGED ABSENCE of rain is putting pressure on some dairy farmers to venture out into unknown territories to find hay.

Steven Williams, of C. O. Williams farms, said the harsh impact of the drought had left him unaware of his next move.

He told the Weekend Nation that the change in weather was causing him to travel far and wide to sustain his cows.

“I’m sourcing grass from places I have never sourced it from before, cutting hay from pastures I’ve never gone before because I don’t have any growing on my farm,” he said.
