Brazil Crops Shrivel As Amazon Dries Up To Lowest In 47 Years

A worker cuts sugarcane with a machete at the Jalles Machado SA farm in Goianesia, about 135 miles from Brasilia, Brazil, on Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010. Dry weather in Brazil, the world's biggest producer of coffee, sugar and orange, is reducing crop yields and drying up the Amazon river to the lowest level in almost five decades. Sugar futures in New York have jumped 24 percent this month, and sugar-cane output may fall for the first time in 11 years in 2011. Photographer: Adriano Machado/Bloomberg via Getty Images
