Heat and the lack of rain has hurt dryland crops in Orangeburg County. The yield potential of the dryland corn has been severely affected, according to an Orangeburg County Clemson extension agent. He thought that some dryland fields would have a significantly reduced or even near zero yield. Irrigated corn looks about average or above average. Some of the corn was already dried up and will not benefit from forecast rain. Dryland crops such as cotton, peanuts, soybeans, sorghum, sesame and hay have not made good stands.
