Dead sunflowers, short corn near South Bend, Indiana

AFFECTED AREAS:
Saint Joseph County, IN
South Bend, IN

Start Date: 9/19/2024 -  
A South Bend farm closed its sunflower field due to drought and heat that killed most of the flowers. The corn for the maze is shorter than usual. Another way drought is affecting the farm is the cost of hay for the ponies, horses, donkeys and goats. Area hay growers aren’t likely to get a third cutting. WVPE-FM (Elkhart, Ind.), Sept 19, 2024
