JUN 30 1988, JUL 3 1988; Darke, Country Ohio farmer John Buscher, standing in one of the fields he farms with his dad and brothers, in some of Ohio's richest farming country. Normally, at this time of year, the corn would be six to eight feet high, but at most it is now barely waist high. Buscher said that regardless of the drought severity, he and his family would make it through the year, but it wouldn't be easy.; Many farmers who are heavily into debt at this point (Buscher is not) would not last this year.; (Photo By The Denver Post via Getty Images)
