Dry spell worries farmers across Ohio area
Ohio faces persistent drought concerns as crop reports flag dryness affecting yields. Gov Rhodes seeks disaster designation for 16 counties while state climatologist Ted Pierce identifies the driest zones from near Sandusky to Toledo and east of Athens to Cincinnati. He notes soil moisture is depleted with top 30 inches very dry south of Springfield, predicting only a gradual return to normal levels without stronger rainfall. The outlook for August is near normal but uncertain.
