Pages from the Past 10 Years Ago - July 9, 1998 Crops suffer under dry weather County Agent Ronnie Jones is concerned over the lack of rain. While there was a small rain during the weekend, Jones said it was too late for a lot of the corn. If there is rain during the week, there might be help for the soybeans, but the weather forecast calls for “hot and dry.” Pasture land is also suffering from the heat. Jones estimates a 50 percent reduction in yield in the corn crop. Cotton takes the heat better, but this year’s cotton crop is smaller than 500 acres.
