I can sympathize with your pain from no rain, but now-a-days food is just another commodity, it really has been since the railroads were built. If a crop fails in one location it is easy to purchase it from another region at a slightly higher price, usually the difference is not much more than the transportation cost. Here we don't have local tomatoes or sweet corn available yet, but they have been in the stores since before Memorial Day. Food can be shipped anywhere in the country or anywhere in the world, just like livestock, machinery and energy. That's probably a good thing as forign demand is supporting high US grain prices.

For most people, the local crop yeilds don't affect them at all except that locally grown vegetables are sometimes less expensive at the end of the growing season because of lower transportation costs and the lack of demand.
