| episode_narrative | The severe summer drought took a major toll on crops across Southeast Missouri. Rainfall at Cape Girardeau for the three-month period from July through September was just under two inches. This compares to a 3-month average of around 10 inches. Cape Girardeau received 0.98 inches in September, which is about 3 inches below normal. The soybean crop suffered the greatest effects from the drought, with yields estimated less than 50 percent of normal. The root systems of many shrubs and young trees were damaged by the drought. Some shrubs and shallow-rooted trees, such as dogwood and redbud trees, died during the summer. The effects of the drought were greatest closest to the Bootheel, from New Madrid to Cape Girardeau. Rainfall was higher to the north and west, especially from Perryville to the Poplar Bluff area. High fire danger prompted Cape Girardeau County to ban open burning. |
