It’s not all dying. Yields are being impacted. Some states much worse than others.

It's fair to say not all are dying. But here in Indiana, most of the corn crop south of Kokomo and north of Bloomington is gone. Farmers have already turned over the fields in a lot of cases. No corn is taller than about 3' around here (not knee high by 4th of July). In most years, corn is 6' tall by now. I know of one area within 5 miles of me that has some green crops that have not yet sprouted tasles.

If IN is any indication of the rest of the midwest, it's pretty bad.

The corn I’m growing in KY, all one billionth of an acre of it (lol), is about 3 feet high and any ears are no more than 3 inches in diameter and no more than 4 inches long.
