Dry August Beginning to Hurt Crops
The LS Weather Bureau in Little Rock warns Arkansas faces the driest August on record. Through midmonth only 16 inches of rain have fallen, rainfall shortfalls threaten soybeans and late corn, pastures suffer, livestock lose weight, and irrigation saves some fields. Spikes of heat persist with highs near 104, and forecasts expect hot, mostly clear weather with scattered thundershowers. The Cotton Association notes some crop hurt but overall prospects remain cautiously good to excellent.
