‘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.
Really?
All I know is the produce is bleak here this year
