Drought Impacts Corn Crop
By James Parish, Meteorologist/Reporter, KSLA-TV 12, Shreveport
ArkLaTex corn farmers are busying harvesting, but this year's crop isn't going to be nearly as good as last year's crop. For corn farmers, the drought could not have hit at a worse time. Only 4.44" of rain was recorded May 1-Aug. 8 at Shreveport Regional Airport. That's more than 10" below average.
