In what appears to be Britain's wettest summer in 100 years, has taken a huge toll on farmers in the countryside. Farms are experiencing poor crop yields as many of them are rotting. The agricultural losses tally up to 600 million pounds which will negatively affect the UK's economy. Tourism has also been hit as campsites and other events had to be shut down or cancelled. As a result food prices in the UK are expected to rise. Britain was hoping this summer would yield better than last summer which was considered a bad year for farmers.
