Environment Wednesday, July 18, 2012 Too little rain, too late for Ohio farmers One Ohio farmer may lose 80 percent of his crop this summer. by WKSU's STATEHOUSE CORRESPONDENT BILL COHEN |
 Reporter Bill Cohen | | |
Ohio farms are suffering from a continued lack of rain. The national drought is being called the worst since 1956. So far, Ohio isn’t as hard-hit as neighboring Indiana, but in western Ohio especially, farmers have already written off much of their crop.
Ryan McClure farms 4,000 acres in Paulding County in the North-west corner of Ohio. He tells Ohio Public Radio’s Bill Cohen that recent rains have been so scattered and brief, they have not provided the many inches of rain the farmers need to salvage their crops. |

“We did end up receiving last night two-tenths, but at this point here, it is like dumping a glass of water out in the field,” McClure says. “From what we’ve seen the corn crop is pretty well done with and with some makers not even being harvest we assume.”
McClure says if his soybean crop doesn't get good rains in the next couple weeks, 80 percent of it could be destroyed. |
