Houston weather: Drought, scorching heat tough on crops for Texas farmers

FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas – In the middle of our heatwave, it’s harvest season for Texas farmers, and the hot, dry weather has taken a toll on crops.

This year, only the last couple of months have been really dry, while scorching temperatures have made it difficult for some crops to grow.
