It’s not all dying. Yields are being impacted. Some states much worse than others.

Chicken little alarmists are chasing for blog hits. It’s a nasty addiction.

It's fair to say not all are dying. But here in Indiana, most of the corn crop south of Kokomo and north of Bloomington is gone. Farmers have already turned over the fields in a lot of cases. No corn is taller than about 3' around here (not knee high by 4th of July). In most years, corn is 6' tall by now. I know of one area within 5 miles of me that has some green crops that have not yet sprouted tasles.

If IN is any indication of the rest of the midwest, it's pretty bad.

Nope. This article is right on. In the first place, I live on the western end of the corn belt, and it's drier here than I've seen it in my lifetime. And I'm no spring chicken.

And I drove through Iowa, Missouri, Illinois and Indiana this past week. It's bad and getting worse all over.

Exactly why growing in a lot of different places is good. Michigan fruit cops were pretty much wiped out by frost this year but I'm hearing that they're doing great in the pacific northwest. Prices will rise but we aren't facing a famine anytime soon.

In my neck of the ‘woods’ there will be a very reduced ‘gas’ I mean corn crop this season. It is also a NASTY addiction to hide under the ignore warning mode!!!! We hired BamBamKennedy and like minded liberals to rule over US regardless of ‘warnings’!!!!
