Heat and drought were affecting crops in North Carolina. Cornfields in Union County are brown and withered, due to drought, while heat took a toll on the cornstalks, stated a farmer. He also noted that soybeans were difficult to plant for lack of moisture.
The high price of fertilizer, liquid nitrogen and other farm chemicals added to farmers’ stress.
