Whole fields of corn in severe drought in central and eastern Missouri did not pollinate, due to drought. A grower in Randolph County reported that his corn had received just a few inches of rain all year. While the corn may look lush and green, the ears may have a few kernels, but mostly did not pollinate. The lack of pollination was widespread in the Randolph County area, according to the farmer.
