Southeast Nebraska farmer Jerry Baysinger says the severe drought is taking a toll on some of his crops. “The dryland is looking pretty tough.”
The corn and soybean grower from Bruning tells Brownfield his fields have missed significant rains this summer. “We’ve only had about a little over 2.5 inches of rain since the third week of May and that has occurred in 12 rain events.”
The latest U.S. Drought monitor shows three counties near Bruning have been in the severe drought category for several weeks.
