Drought causes damage to crops
Submitted by jcht2010 on
Farmers will have to make do after the first few weeks of harvest in mid-July. The drought has caused significant damage to crops in various parts of the United States.
According to Dwayne Vincent, Jackson County Executive Director at the Farm Service Agency, Southern Texas crops are not going to be good this year, but farmers will not know how bad their crops are until after they assess the damage. He said some producers of corn crops have told him damage to their corn crops was not that bad.
Vincent also said the drought has affected the grass in pastures, which is used to feed livestock.
“I know people are feeding livestock hay because their grass is too short,” he said.
