A corn and sorghum grower in Nueces County anticipates getting just 25% of the yield that he would like from his corn, due to drought.
Sixty percent of the cotton in Nueces County is not usable; 60% of corn in the county is “very poor,” and a lot of fields are in the 750 lb. range, although most sorghum fields yield 4,500-5,000 lbs. per acre. Rain cannot help the corn at this point.
