Across America farmers are surveying the remnants of the crops they planted just a few months ago - ruined by scorching temperatures and little rain. Up to a quarter of the corn in some states has already been lost due to drought. And it's impact will soon be felt here at home with experts predicting a 10% rise in UK food prices over the next twelve months.

In this special programme, Anna Hill is at the Missouri State Fair to witness the plight of Mid West farmers living through the worst drought in four generations and asking politicians what can and is being done.

This programme is presented by Anna Hill and produced on location in the USA by Martin Poyntz-Roberts.
