Farmers across the Aurel Valley are changing what they grow after late frosts and an early heatwave cut this year’s harvest.
Wheat yields were down by about a fifth. Some farms are trying crops that ripen faster, such as early potatoes, or cope better with heat, such as sorghum.
My grandfather planted on the same day every year. I can no longer do that.

The farmers’ union has asked for help with the cost of new seed and irrigation.
