137. Swathe


From, “Argentina’s drought: counting the costs,” by Jude Webber, 1/23/12, Financial Times:

The drought sweeping swathes of South America’s prime farmland is really starting to bite in Argentina now as farmers count the cost of irrevocably lost crops.

Swathe: A row or line of grass, grain, or other crop as it lies when mown or reaped.
