HARDIN COUNTY–In past years we dreamt of a dry spring. We should be careful what we wish for, as we face an early dry spell this season. The OSU College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences weather stations on the Wooster Campus and Northwest and Western Agricultural Research Stations reported 58-70% less precipitation in May than normal. Dry weather is not only a concern for Ohio now, but several other states are also facing similar or worse conditions, especially those in the central Corn Belt.
