Lack of water affects more people than just farmers and the folks that buy their crops. Dry weather affects more than the cattle who eat he grain and the folks who eat the cattle. The drought affects more than the folks at the coop and the locker. Here is an example.
My friend Annie Oakley and her husband own a landscaping business. He loves to landscape but pays for that love by moving snow in the winter and mowing grass in the summer. The drought caused it to snow very little. The drought caused the grass not to grow. No work.
People that wanted to work, couldn't. These same people wanted to buy stuff, they couldn't. The stores they wanted to buy from wanted to sell more, they couldn't. And so on, you get the picture.
Droughts are hard for lots of ongoing reasons.
I'm surprised the weather Gods even mess with my friend. She's a tough lady.
