Ricardo Lopez reports on a farmer that found an innovative strategy to keep his farm profitable:
- America’s recent drought has destroyed a lot of corn crop, causing prices to rise.

- One farmer dealt with this problem by feeding his cows candy – knowing that they would quickly gain weight because of it.
