You need a little rain to grow grass for the cows but I know what you mean. Feel terrible for the ranchers down in Texas that had to sell out because of the drought. And right now a rain in Texas should help the falling cattle market. I'm not up to date on drought conditions but moisture should increase demand.
As for farmers, they tie up big $$$ planting and spraying and fertilizing and(watering) a crop and one storm could take it out in a minute or two.
Of course a wildfire or wicked weather could take out a herd of cattle but that is a lot more rare.
(and try buying insurance for that)
