After a dry July, some farmers are saying they may bring in only 75% of what they did a year ago.
But it's the tough reality farmers are facing, with not much rain lately, and not much more coming.
"It's been concerning, we've had about 45% of normal rainfall for the last three months now," said Chris McDonald, president of the North Dakota Soybean Growers Association.
But in some areas, like Ben Bring's farm in Galesburg, North Dakota, there's been even less to work with.
The crop's been stressed for about a month," said Bring, vice president of the North Dakota Corn Growers Association.
