The Becker family, including Darren, his wife Dorothy and their children Renee 15, Katie, 17 and Charlie, 19, show off a small part of the family weapons collection (and their pet Chiguagua Mini), at the Becker farm August 24, 2012 in Logan, Kansas. During hunting season later in the year, the Beckers host guests from around to country. Like many Kansas farmers affected by the record drought, the Beckers are working hard to hang on to their farm, which has been in their family for five generations. Most of Kansas is still in extreme or exceptional drought, despite recent lower temperatures and thunderstorms, according to the University of Nebraska's Drought Monitor. The record-breaking drought, which has affected more than half of the continental United States, is expected to drive up food prices by 2013 due to lower crop harvests and the adverse effect on the nation's cattle industry.
