Heat Blamed Over Moisture Shortfall for Crop Damage
Federal meteorologist Charles D. Reed says heat rather than lack of rain causes drought in Iowa crops. He notes near normal rainfall may occur with persistent high temperatures, citing 1873 through 1936 trends and a 1925 example of a poor spring but good corn year. Reed warns winter snows rarely affect yield. heat governs growth and drought generally does not carry over, except for some insect propagation.
