A severe drought has gripped an area of Australia more than twice the size of Texas, turning normally fertile crop areas into dust bowls. ⠀
⠀
"There's not a blade of grass, not even a vestige or shoot. It's dirt," said Carolyn Fretwell, a rancher whose family has grazed cattle and sheep on the plains near Coonabarabran, 300 miles northwest of Sydney, for 80 years.⠀
⠀
The drought, which began for some in 2013 but intensified this winter when seasonal rains failed to arrive, is likely to worsen a global grain shortfall and lower beef prices.⠀
⠀
Farmers are wondering if they should bother planting summer crops.⠀
⠀
Greg Jerry, another farmer in the area, said he has been shooting sheep and cattle that are too weak to stand, amid the worst local conditions in five generations.⠀
⠀
"With the wind and dust, it's just turmoil. Some days it's like being in the Sahara."⠀
