HAY WHEAT THRIVING County Crops Okay Despite Lack of Rain The Corn Is As High As An Elephant's Eye and other crops vital to cattle in Onondaga County are doing fairly good despite a dry spell. Agriculture agent James Q Foster said 0.5 to 0.75 inch of rain in five days would help but isn’t essential. He noted drought hurts elsewhere with crop losses and rising prices. In Long Island potato losses up to 25 percent, Nassau County growers report up to 50 percent. Wheat in the county remains very favorable and first cut hay yields are high after a strong season.
