Experts say rain in Ohio is drowning crop fields and preventing others from being planted altogether.

Matthew Roberts, an agricultural economist at Ohio State University, says two to three million acres of corn won't be planted in Ohio alone, and analysts predict between four million and five million acres of soybeans across the country will go unplanted.

Additionally, reports indicate twice as much corn is in poor condition compared to last year in Ohio.

Peter Thomison, a corn-production specialist with Ohio State University Extension, tells the Columbus Dispatch weeds creep in as the soil stays wet.

He says rot, disease and other issues dent yields and take nitrogen away from fields or too far underground for crops to reach.
