Corn and soybeans in Isanti County were thirsty and in need of rain. The area never fully recovered from drought in 2021. Moderate drought at present has left corn about three feet shorter than it ought to be, so some will be chopped for feed as the farmer anticipates a corn yield of 100 bushels per acre rather than 200 bpa. Overall farm income has been halved.
