## Resource

Kansas farmers are battling a brutal heatwave that’s turning crops into a gamble—despite earlier rain, mid-to-upper 90s temps are stressing corn fields, forcing growers like Mark Lawless to run irrigation nonstop. With July and August weather patterns, many adjust planting strategies to survive, but the real hope? A cool front or rain to break the dry spell before it’s too late.
