Dry weather slows sugar corn canning across county
The pace of sugar corn canning began at Jenkins Bros in Frederick and Buckeystown as parts of the county brace for continued dry weather. Canners noted the late crop may suffer if rain remains scarce, while beans and tomatoes show drought effects. Forecasters predict scattered showers but no enough rain to end the dry spell. Temperatures rise with a 90 degree surge possible this afternoon and a warmer night ahead.
