Relative to other top corn growing states, drought is not much of an issue for most farmers in Indiana. In fact, some parts of the state have reported flooding this month.
A sliver of Steuben county in the extreme northeast reported moderate drought. About 21% of the Hoosier state is abnormally dry, an improvement from 28% last week. Hot temperatures over the weekend left crops in the northern part of the state in need of rain.
