Corn here on clay ground is finally starting to roll and show signs of lack of rain. Corn on non-irrigated sand ground is pretty much shot. There is one field of sweet corn, under irrigation, that is no more than knee high and is already tasselled out with little ears showing. Doesn't look good at all. There is also a field of potatoes nearby that looks terrible. The parts of the field not getting irrigation are a total loss. Even what is irrigated looks limp, puny, and a little brown.

Considerable loss to corn crop and I'm seeing fields of beans that bloomed, but don't have many, if any, pods after 3 weeks. My own tomato plants are of above average size and have had several blooms, but only 1 or 2 tomatoes set on. Just too hot! I stopped watering last week.
