The Texas A&M Agronomy Society cannot offer its annual corn maze and fall festival this year, due to extreme drought this summer that killed the corn crop. The seeds were planted in July, but no rain fell for nearly three or more months with temperatures above 100°. The seeds were irrigated, but the high soil temperatures caused the water to evaporate, leaving the seeds dry.
