What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Drought has affected southwestern Minnesota, with farmers in Rock County reporting severe crop damage. Corn stalks were observed to be shriveled, and some plants failed to develop properly. Farmers who raise cattle noted that pasture grass disappeared, forcing them to use stored reserves for their livestock. Farmers in the area submitted condition reports to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
