High temperatures are forecast across Pennsylvania as parts of the country, including the Southwest, grapple with sweltering heat. Experts say that with sufficient moisture, farmers in Butler County can expect a minimal impact on crops, but should keep an eye on livestock, which are prone to heat stress.

With adequate soil moisture, a few days of high heat around 90 degrees Fahrenheit would not be too worrisome for farmers, said JohnMark Miller, agronomist with Penn State Extension.

“Temperatures over 100 (degrees Fahrenheit) and overnight lows in the 80s would be concerning … with good soil moisture there should be a relatively minimal yield hit,” Miller said.
