Fall harvest begins early in drought stressed county
The Franklin County corn crop, forced to an early harvest by drought and hot winds, shows yields well below the long term average. Extension agent Darren Hibdon notes 30 to 50 bushels per acre, down from 100 to 120 in recent years, with 18.5 inches of rain this year about nine inches below normal. A stalled stalk rot problem worsens as the plants stay parched and need rainfall.
