(Radio Iowa) – The U-S-D-A crop update says the lack of precipitation is causing some stress on crops. The U-S-D-A says the crop stress is most notable in the northern third of the state — which has the worst drought conditions. The overall condition of the corn crop was reported at 65 percent good to excellent. That’s down three percentage points from the previous week.
