| episode_narrative | September, 1998 was the driest September on record at Paducah, where rainfall for the month totalled only 0.12 inch. The dry weather was very costly to farmers of certain crops, especially soybean farmers. The drought reduced yields for soybeans and late-planted corn by 25 to 30 percent in some counties. The dry conditions prompted authorities in several counties to impose no-burn orders. Those counties under no-burn orders included Lyon, Ballard, Daviess, and Livingston. One large brush fire that started around September 13 consumed 650 acres just south of Central City in Muhlenberg County. The drought, which was classified as "mild," began in early August. The lack of rainfall late in the summer was mitigated by one of the wettest springs on record at Paducah. Low water levels on the Mississippi River resulted in the cancellation of a cruise barge stop in Hickman. |
