Northeast Nebraska and Candelaria Philippines | I've been out of the USA for a while, so I'm not able to observe what's happening...
But one thing to think about is the heat. I've only seen the weather on weather.com, but it seems that in Nebraska, it's been hotter than usual. I saw many days in June in the mid 90's. And although that may have been welcome, that uses up some moisture.
I remember a few years ago, we only had a few days in the 90's for the whole summer and that raised a good crop. |
