Rows of cornstalks are thriving for farmers throughout the Mahoning County. Despite a period of dry weather earlier this year, farmers from Molnar Farms used a nearby pond to keep their crops hydrated, while waiting for another rainfall.

"We kind of got rain right when we needed [it] this past week and now we're getting some heat [and] the corn loves that," Rick Molnar, manager of Molnar Farms told 21 News. 

Molnar says they're monitoring crops closely, and getting ready to start picking more corn.

"We're looking for pests, looking for whether we need water, whether we have disease problems. Every day we're looking to check and see," Molnar said.

Their efforts along with high temperatures will result in an abundance of sweet corn that's ready to hit their shelves within the next eight days.

Ward Campbell says his 75 acre cornfield in North Jackson has surpassed expectations after a having some concerns earlier this year.

Campbell says this year's spring was the driest he has seen in 30 to 40 years, but now his crops are getting adequate moisture.

"When we planted [on May 15] there was enough moisture [and] the corn was taking a hold. [So we] just waited on the rain to come and when the rain came, [the corn crops grew well.]
