All of this summer's rain isn't just ruining your outdoor plans—it's taking a toll on Ohio's $100 billion farming industry.
Ohio’s largest industry is taking a big hit thanks to this summer’s wet weather. Ohio Farm Bureau spokesman Joe Cornely says a lot of the state’s corn and soybean crops didn’t get planted in time, and those that did are getting drowned out.
“The loss, or potential loss, of the corn and soybeans will be severe for the farmers that are growing it,” says Cornely. “For you and I who go to the grocery store, we probably won’t even see it.”
But Cornely says if farmers don’t get some kind of dry spell, we could see a big impact on the state’s economy.
