The Wider Image: 'I want to breed horses, not camels': Hungarian farmers battle 'historic' drought
Gergely Lajko, 27, a farmer, gives his horses drinking water, on his farm near Jaszszentlaszlo, Hungary, July 21, 2022. Farmers across Hungary have reported "historic" drought damage affecting some 550,000 hectares of land, the ministry of agriculture said this month. Lajko said he would rather find solutions than complain. "But we are just hoping for rain now, there is not much else we can do" he said. "Maybe we should find out what thrives in the desert. Arab horse breeds? Kiwi fruit? Camels?" Lajko chuckled. "These are our bitter jokes these days." REUTERS/Marton Monus SEARCH “MONUS HUNGARY DROUGHT" FOR THIS STORY.
