Drought threatens crops and farm incomes across the region
Agronomist Dumler warns dry land corn is a total loss and irrigated corn along with dry land grain sorghum will suffer yield losses without timely rainfall. Some sorghum may be salvaged with rain, but overall farm incomes likely dip as crop insurance does not cover all losses. Farmers may cut cattle herds and delay wheat planting if drought persists. Subsoil and pasture moisture are classified as very short to poor, with stock water also tight.
