Global Drought

Drought does not only affect the United States but most of the world. There is mass drought throughout Europe and the Middle East. Drought is affecting parts of many countries that have usually have substantial quantity's of rain a year. In Greenland many farmers are loosing crops due to the dry conditions and lack of water in streams and rivers. In France many of their grapes used in the production of vine are drying up and vineyards are loosing large sums of money because of the global drought. Meanwhile in the United States many of the nations agricultural producers are have a difficult time maintaining their farms from loosing all of their crops. Those that can keep their crops from drying up and withering away are having a difficult time making any profits from what they can sell. Rain is desperately needed not just in the United States but in countries around the world that do not have a very moist climate or places that have short growing seasons or shortages of land in which to grow crops.
