Fifth-generation Morgan County farmer, Lee Nunn joins host John Holcomb for an honest conversation about what it means to farm through one of the driest springs in recent memory. With 25 years of experience growing cotton, corn, soybeans, and wheat, Lee breaks down how the ongoing drought is threatening his wheat harvest, stalling cotton bed preparation, and leaving a month-old corn crop desperately short on moisture. He explains the compounding pressure of record-high input costs — fuel, fertilizer, equipment parts — against commodity prices that leave almost no room for error. Lee also reflects on how this drought differs from past dry years and what he and his family may have to do to survive it. A candid look at the realities facing Georgia row crop farmers when everything has to go right — and the rain simply won't come.
