All this heat has been cutting into the Kansas corn crops, even for the most prepared farmer. KLWN’s Jill Nado has that story...


Lawrence has seen fifteen days so far this summer where temperatures have gone into triple digits. Combine that with low rainfall and low humidity and corn yields take a dive. K-State Research and Extension in Douglas County says even cornfields with good irrigation systems can’t keep up with the dry heat. Extension agents warn that harvests may be half of what some farmers expected because plants have been stressed...they’re saying each acre in the region may only yield 60 bushels this year.
