A horse owner near Stewiacke, N.S., says the current shortage of hay in the province is putting pressure on her financially. Like other farmers and horse owners in the province, Kaila Watters usually gets hay locally. “It is a concern and it's something that keeps me up at night,” Watters said. “We actually had to start feeding hay two months prior to what we normally would have. She thinks a similar approach could help farmers here, especially during extreme weather events like this year’s drought or floodings.
