Mississippi’s sweet potato fields are in trouble—yields are down as much as 30% this year, and the potatoes are smaller than usual. For families, that means higher prices and fewer sweet potatoes at the store. For local farmers, it’s a tough blow, with many feeling squeezed by drought, late planting, and low prices. Only a fraction of fields have irrigation, and some areas went over 70 days without rain. This isn’t just a Mississippi problem—farmers everywhere are facing unpredictable weather. How do you think we can support our farmers and keep our food supply strong? #Business #Industry #Mississippi
