While many farmers across Delmarva have the resources to weather the drought, some small farmers aren’t as fortunate. Floyd Pugh of C.P. Farm in Westover, Md., says he does not have a working irrigation system, which is why a fourth of his planted seeds did not germinate. “We got a well drilled in,” says Pugh. “The well was pretty expensive to put in here, but the electric company wants $10,000 to run electric from the highway back to our well, and that’s a little too far out for me to reach.”
