Corn

While out for a walk today, it was once again clear to me that I was no longer in Iowa.  The corn had a vibrant green color and did not appear to be in any distress.  Since being back in Germany, the temperatures have been averaging the upper-70’s with a little rain almost every day.  It saddened me to think about the corn I saw when I was in Iowa.  It saddened me to think of my Dad (owner of a farm implement) and my in-laws who farm.  Within a week, I have seen two totally different parts of our World and two totally different crop conditions.  We will continue to pray for all of those affected by the drought and pray for some measurable rain in Iowa in the very near future.

 

Iowa State Climatologist, Harry Hillaker said, “July could be the third hottest and fifth driest July among 140 years of state records.”
