A Central Nebraska farmer says the drought is taking a toll on his dryland crops.
Clay Govier of Broken Bow says crops in his area look good unless they’re not irrigated. “A lot of the area has been kind of fortunate in July to catch some rains, but we were definitely at a deficit in June. Now, it’s just been really hot and dry here recently,” he says. “The non-irrigated crops are sure suffering.”
The corn, soybean and specialty crops grower says rain has only provided temporary relief from irrigating.
