Drought causes losses for small farmers in Minas Gerais The drought is causing losses for small farmers in Minas Gerais. All you can see is the brown of dry vegetation. In the Caribbean Quilombo, in São Francisco (MG), the last drop of rain that fell was six months ago. The only alternative for water supply is a dam more than five kilometers from the community. To shorten the route, residents built a tank closer to the road, from where the water goes by gravity to the animals’ pots. Thus, the cattle still survive, but the agriculture was lost with the lack of rain. São Francisco is one of more than 130 municipalities in Minas Gerais in an emergency situation due to the drought. Many communities depend on water trucks to produce and the operation to bring water to them has been an intense job. Check out the full report in the video above.
