Iowa drought drags down crop outlook across the state
Iowa farmers face a severe drought with forecasts trimming corn and soybean yields. Officials estimated a billion-dollar drop in revenue from July projections as weeks of below normal rainfall, especially in west central and northern Iowa, cut expected harvests. Early rains in eastern Iowa failed to hold, and drought cycles echo the 1930s and 1950s, with August among the driest on record. Local climatologists note normal temperatures limited damage, but near-term forecasts point to continued stress for corn and soybeans.
