China's wheat basket, Shangdong Province, is stuck in the worst drought in 60 years. If weather forecasts hold true, this will be the worst drought in 200 years, according to Xinhua.
The government has already declared a state emergency to send relief to the province, including trucks full of drinking water and special equipment to irrigate the fields.
