> Extreme heat and drought hit US crops from Texas and Louisiana to North Dakota, with spring wheat harvest particularly affected. Spring wheat good-to-excellent ratings fell to 38%, and corn and soybean kernel and bean sizes may be reduced in Corn Belt areas with low subsoil moisture. The Canadian Prairies also face yield-cutting drought.
