Kentucky could see one of the worst corn crops in nearly 30 years, thanks to the hottest July on record.

An average statewide corn yield of 65 bushels an acre is predicted this year.

That’s down 74 bushels from last year’s crop.

It would be the lowest yield since the 1983 crop produced 48 bushels per acre.

WYMT Opinion

Do you think the Federal Government should recognize that marijuana and hemp are different varieties of the same plant?

Yes, they are different and hemp should be legal when states allow it
No, both plants are the same and should be illegal
Both should be legal if states allow it
