Chappell Pleads for Rain Amid Widespread Drought
The past week brought unseasonably high heat and uneven rainfall across the state. Northern counties saw 7.64 inches in spots, aiding pastures and hay but harming grain in shock, while central and southern areas faced drying potatoes, scarce stock water, and poor corn conditions unless soils stayed moist. Threshing continues where rain was scarce.
