A Nebraska-based agronomist says crops in the western area of the state are in desperate need of moisture.
Luke Curl with Golden Harvest says if Mother Nature doesn’t provide relief within two weeks, “Even shorter than that in some areas, the dryland corn is pretty much going to be gone. There are a few dryland soybeans around the area and we’re seeing the same thing there.”
Curl says erosion caused by drought has created unique issues for farmers trying to irrigate.
