Well, its now official. Minnesota is in the throes of a drought, and apparently the driest summer in fifteen years.
The crops are just doing awful, up here. Yields are going to go down and prices will likely go up. The economics of this will eventually ripple out to the rest of the US, too. Sure, the dry, warm, clear weather is great in the short term (and it does help cut down on the mosquitoes), but this is just not funny anymore.
I'd gladly take some of the rain which has inundated the NY city metropolitan area as of late.
