Drought Persists as Cooler Weather Fails to Bring Rain
The weekly weather and crop bulletin reports no significant drought relief with cooler conditions. It states showers offered only temporary aid in some areas while corn remains sick and many Missouri crops will not yield silage. Ohio shows tassels at half normal height with widespread irreparable damage. Indiana partial rains help corn though southwestern areas are beyond recovery. Illinois tassels burned white. Oklahoma uplands would be too late for corn though bottoms might gain some benefit.
