A southwest Iowa farmer says this year’s corn crop is one of his worst in over a decade.
Ray Gaesser says his area was impacted by drought. “We had a record year last year and this year is going to be the worst in 10 years,” he said. “That’s how you get averages, I think. It might be the first time we’ve collected crop insurance for a long, long time.”
He tells Brownfield he expects corn yields to be 25 percent below his on-farm average.
