‘Horrible’ growing season hits Western Washington farmers

Agriculturists say the rainy start to Western Washingtons summer put a damper on all the crops. But the corn crop has been especially hard-hit - in some fields the corn stalks look more like weeds.

“We never had a day of 75 degrees until we got up into the first or second day of July,” says farmer Steve Schuh.

Schuh has been farming corn for more than two decades - and says he’s never had such a horrible season.
