This photo from Sept. 12, 2012, shows farmer Steve Henry of Arapahoe, Neb., holding an ear of corn that failed to grow due to the heat and drought. The latest update on the worst U.S. drought in decades shows that farmers bringing in their weakened corn crops had some relief with recent rains that soaked much of middle America.
