  "transcript": "Hey, I'm Haley Bickelhaupt with your AgDay Minute today in Massachusetts for cranberry harvest. Well, the impacts of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are now showing up in farmers' harvest. This is according to the United Nations International Fund for Agricultural Development. Now, it's been further complicated by the El Nino weather pattern and the war in Ukraine. The agency's president says that these disruptions are now threatening lower farm yields and higher food prices. Well, Oklahoma is recovering from a record rainfall. More than 5 inches fell on Wednesday, and according to the National Weather Service, up to 7 inches fell in some areas. More rain was forecasted for Thursday, and we've seen videos of flooded fields right in the middle of harvest season. Well, a hog barn in Sibley, Iowa, is a total loss. 2,400 pigs died in a fire on Tuesday night. The Sibley Fire Department says that strong winds made the fire harder to put out, and it blew some embers into nearby cornfields. That forced Randy Vopal Farms to get the combine out and clear a field. No people were hurt. Well, $7,000 worth of stolen watermelons are now back in Texas farmers' hands. The Duval County Sheriff's Office arrested four people last Tuesday. It says a thermal imaging drone was used to catch them in the act. It suspects multiple farms were hit.
