Aaron Wilson, OSU Extension climate specialist, says Ohio farmers are feeling the effects of extreme weather.

Oscillating weather conditions have taken a toll on Ohio’s farmers in recent years.

Much of Ohio experienced a severe drought last season, which has returned to threaten the state as fall approaches.

Those same counties saw about 32 inches of rain back in April, May and June, upheaving age-old planting and harvesting traditions.

“We went from the eighth wettest April through July on record to the driest, in 131 years, driest August on record for Ohio," said Aaron Wilson, a climate specialist with OSU Extension.
