What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Due to ongoing drought, Virginia is facing a hay shortage estimated at roughly 500,000 tons. Governor Abigail Spanberger declared a state of emergency on September 16. The drought has reduced statewide hay yields by approximately 35%, forcing farmers to seek feed farther away and pay higher prices. Virginia has authorized temporary transportation waivers starting October 1 to assist in moving hay.
