Description
Erik Wilson and Steve Malanca started My Job Depends on Ag to spread the word that everyone depends on agriculture whether they know it or not. Today with the drought in California combined with high temperatures across the country, the world of agriculture is changing rapidly, and we are all connected by and dependent on agriculture.
The cost of drought comes in a variety of forms. Examples of economic impacts include farmers who lose money because drought destroyed their crops or ranchers who may have to spend more money to feed and water their animals. Economic impacts can be both direct, such as decreases in dairy production, and indirect, as seen by increases in the price of cheese.
In addition to the economy, drought also affects the environment and society. For example, drought shrinks the food supplies of animals and damages their habitats. In addition, drought impacts people’s health and safety. Examples of drought impacts on society include reduced incomes, fewer recreational activities, and higher heatstroke incidents.Special Guest: Erik Wilson.
