AFFECTED AREAS:
Robertson County, TN

Start Date: 4/15/2022 - End Date: 9/20/2022
The corn yield in Robertson County was one-third to one-half of a normal crop for a grower in Orlinda. Rainfall in the mid-April to mid-July window was just two inches, compared to a typical 10 to 12 inches during that time. Inflation and supply chain issues made this the most expensive crop that he ever planted, so a better harvest was needed. WTVF-TV CBS 5 Nashville (Tenn.), Sept 20, 2022
