The fun never ends

Looks like we are in for a couple of torrid days up and down the east coast.    Upper 90's are not too common this early in the season, and some areas have been drier than normal.  One grower in Virginia is trying to decide whether to irrigate his corn crop in the hope of getting some yield, or let nature take its course and collect on his crop insurance.  It is the classic farmer's dilemma.  Once you have planted a crop, the impulse is to try to get a harvest, even if it is not in your economic best interest.  The over 100 degree temps predicted for today may make the decision easier for him.
