A SEVERE WATER SHORTAGE is killing off Steve Ifill’s farm.

The situation has become so dire that some of his animals have turned to cannibalising each other, due to an apparent lack of water.

Ifill told the DAILY NATION that he had lost more than 20 pigs within the last two months at his farm in Vault Road, St Thomas.

He estimated his losses to be in the region of $12 000. (RB)
