Soybeans growing at the Graves-Chapple Extension and Education Center in Fairfax, MO.

When it came to weather, Corn and Soybean Farmers had no complaints for much of the growing season. Here in the Northwest part of the state, July brought ample rain and crops were thriving.

But according to the US Drought Monitor, much of the state has since entered drought conditions. KXCV’s Gavin McGough spoke with University of Missouri Climatologist Zach Leasor about the conditions.

Gavin McGough is the news director for KXCV-KRNW, based in Maryville, Missouri.
