In northeastern Brazil, signs of a drought are everywhere.

Farming communities like São José Do Egito have been hard hit by soaring temperatures. Locals here say the drought has gone on for so long that there isn't any grass for the animals. They're now feeding cacti to their livestock.

President Dilma Rousseff in November discussed building dams and irrigation systems, to reduce the impact on the area, but many have given up hope --- abandoning their farms completely. They say they've lost so much already, they can't go another month without rain.
