Farm Impact After Beryl

Farmers in Wharton County are relieved that Hurricane Beryl didn’t cause as much crop damage as feared. However, the storm’s impact on corn and cotton fields could still have lasting consequences. Some farmers faced challenges due to knocked-over corn stalks and wet fields preventing harvest. Texas A&M AgriLife Extension agents estimate that up to 25% of corn may be lost, potentially resulting in over $50 million in damages.
