Drought-Stricken Farm Family Pray For Rain. Philip Makofske, and his family are shown kneeling in the parched fields of their Wantagh, L.I. Farm, July 26, praying for rain, as Long Island is experiencing the worst drought in many years. Although many farms on Long Island are equipped with watering equipment, the larger farms such as this one depend solely upon rain for moisture for the crops.
