What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Farmers in Newfoundland are concerned about a recurring hay shortage. A wetter-than-usual summer prevented farmers from getting sufficient good weather to dry hay, delaying the first harvest. This delay makes a second cut difficult, creating a shortage across the province.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Demand for hay is growing each year, but production cannot keep up. Last year’s shortages required the province to import hay, a situation farmers say is unsustainable. They argue that the only feasible long-term solution is to invest in and expand existing hay farms.
