Some soybean crops in Johnston County were “20-30 per cent gone,” due to the absence of rain, according to Johnston County Extension Agent Tim Britton. Maturity of the tobacco crop was slowed by the dry weather, and the crop needed rain to fill out the upper stalk. Peanuts, soybeans and cotton crops have been alright, but the corn needed rain since the crop was pollinating.
