Drought stretches across America, threatens crops
 |
| The Department of Agriculture said 1,016 counties in 26 states are natural disaster areas. |
A dry and mild spring led Don Villwock, like all of Indiana's corn and soybean farmers, to plant two weeks early this year. He was hopeful for a bountiful Labor Day harvest.
But the rain didn't fall and June brought blistering heat.
Now, as punishing drought grips the Midwest, Villwock, 61, walks his 4,000 acres in utter dismay.
Where there should have
been tall, dark green, leafy plants, there now stand corn stalks that
are waist high or, at best, chest high. They are pale in color and
spindly. Fragile. Tired.
Pull back an ear's husk and you find no kernels, he says. With temperatures rising above 95 degrees, the pollen starts to die.

so optimistic. But maybe a few of us were counting our eggs before they
were hatched."
