Texas Rice Farmers Hit Hard By State's Drought

LISSIE, TX - MARCH 12: Ronald Gertson, a fourth generation rice farmer, sits in his pickup truck next to a closed rice storage facility on March 12, 2014 in Lissie, Texas. Due to the severe drought afflicting the region, the facility closed as farmers like Gertson do not have enough water to grow a sufficient crop. Recently the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality agreed to cut off water deliveries to most rice farmers in the Lower Colorado River Basin for the third straight year as the lakes in central Texas are only 38 percent full.
