CHICAGO (Reuters) - Extreme heat and dryness will continue to deteriorate corn and soybean crops in much of the U.S. Midwest over at least the next week, with only minor amounts of rain seen for drought-plagued Indiana and Ohio, an agricultural meteorologist predicted Friday.
"It's a little wetter forecast for the eastern Midwest over the next 10 days, but only 0.10 to 0.25 inch daily, which won't help much," said Don Keeney, meteorologist for MDA EarthSat Weather.
