| episode_narrative | A very dry month, containing one 7 day heat wave, exacerbated drought-like conditions across much of the fertile farmland of northern Virginia. The weather in July proved to be the death knell for much of the crop yields, including corn, hay, alfalfa, and soybeans. Clarke Co (VAZ031) alone reported $2 million in crop damage. Other counties in the northern Virginia piedmont reported damage via local farms; dollar estimates were similar to those in Clarke Co, though no formal declarations of federal emergency were received from them.The dry, hot weather resulted in a temporary water restriction to be enacted in Spotsylvania Co on the 19th and 20th. |
