"Texas, Kansas, and North Carolina corn farmers have been challenged by drought and more," Natalina Sents Bausch reports for Successful Farming. In the three states, "313 counties have USDA disaster designations. Corn condition in the respective states is rated as the worst in the U.S. at this point in the 2022 growing season." Her article has a drought map for each of the three states, as well as data on corn quality, soybean quality, harvest data, and topsoil moisture.
