Cowboys and Ranchers Stealing Bales of Hay -- Climate Change Ushers in New Kind of Crime Wave | Local Economy in Action | Scoop.it
This past year, the Midwest was scorched with heat waves, parched by droughts and seared by wildfires that an old fashioned cowboy crime—hay rustling—has become a lucrative trade in today’s economy.

With more than 80 percent of the American population living in metropolitan centers, urban farming has the ability to dramatically enhance economic growth, increase food quality and build healthier communities.
