Some Centre County farmers said the dry weather has shortened the crop life of sweet corn and other fall crops.

"You just can't beat the rain water. It really spreads out and gives the crop the thorough watering they need," said Barrie Moser of Moser Farms. "The crops we've planned on for next week or for weeks to come just won't be there."

Some crops like apples are expected to be fine.

"Apples do much better with a short-term drought like this one. They have deeper roots and survive more easily, " said Jason Coopey of Way Fruit Farm.

But Moser said traditional fall holiday crops like squash and pumpkin won't fare as well. While he said the rain expected this week won't pull off a miracle with the crops, it will certainly help.

"(For) some of the crops, it's just too late for it. We'll just have to wait and see what happens," Moser said.

Some farmers stand to lose hundreds or thousands of dollars worth of crops, but others said they stay diversified in the number of crops they grow in order to survive droughts like the current one.
