Agriculture losses from the historic drought gripping Oklahoma are estimated at more than $2 billion and climbing. Â That figure was announced by Oklahoma Agriculture Secretary Jim Reese during Oklahoma Farm Bureauâs Drought Recovery Summit, Thursday.
The figure includes losses for both livestock and grain producers. Â Reese said the number could grow substantially as the drought intensifies. Â
âThe one billion dollars worth of cow crop that will not be harvested next year because we have sold those cows is significant,â Reese said.
