Farmers devastated as severe weather threatens key crops: 'This is a difficult year'
Inclement weather is threatening an important Mississippi crop, according to WCBI. Ongoing rainfall has interrupted cotton planting in Noxubee County, Mississippi. The crop needs dry conditions for planting, but a small three-day window and subsequent rainfall have been challenges. Only 65% of cotton had been planted as of June 11, as opposed to 95% at the same time last year. Production may be down as much as 50% come harvest time in the fall. "We're concerned for farmers. this is a difficult year for them to say the least. This is a difficult year," said Aaron Litwiller, general manager of a local gin, per WCBI. Litwiller went on to say the downturn will lead to economic hardship for related industries, like trucking. Mississippi is the third-largest cotton-growing state in America. Cotton is its second-biggest agricultural export, and it is the fourth-biggest overall. The state is far from alone in wrestling with poor planting conditions. The United States Department of Agriculture estimates planting has reached a ten-year low in 2025. Destructive weather patterns like the ones interfering with cotton crops are exacerbated by atmospheric pollution. In addition to excessive rainfall, polluting gases also promote drought in other areas, further complicating agriculture and raising prices for key edible crops. At the same time, these climate shifts speed up polar ice cap melt, which raises sea levels. Litwiller said that his organization has made some preparations for years like this. While that helps the gin stay operational, farmers may still be at risk. Researchers have been working on new cotton varieties resistant to drought, while others are trying to grow it in a lab environment. One company is trying to reclaim cotton from old clothing by teasing it out of synthetic waste materials. Do you think your city does a good job of managing trash and waste?

When is the July full moon? Here's how to see the Buck Moon, learn history
Summer is officially in full swing and with it comes a feast of astronomical events for enthusiastic stargazers and casual observers alike. Eclipses, meteor showers and opportunities for planet viewing are among the space phenomena we can expect to see in the coming months, with July's full moon coming up next on the list. Like other full moons throughout the year, July's has a nickname, the "Buck Moon," believed to have been originally conceived by the indigenous peoples of North America. Hoping to catch a glimpse? Here's what to know. July's full moon, often called the "Buck Moon," will occur on July 10, 2025. In Oklahoma City, it is expected to rise just before 9 p.m and will remain out until 6:12 a.m. on July 11, 2025.

Like other colloquial names for moon phases and astrological events, the "Buck Moon" is named after a significant natural phenomenon that happens around the time it appears full in the sky. The term likely originated with local native American tribes, according to the Farmers' Almanac. July's full moon coincides with the time during which the antlers of male deer, known as bucks, are growing after their annual shed. While they begin sprouting in spring, they are at the peak of the process during this time, growing as fast as one-fourth of an inch per day, or one-and-a-half inches per week during this period. Other common names for July's full moon include the "Thunder Moon," "Salmon Moon" and "Berry Moon." A full moon can be seen clearly with the naked eye. To see the Buck Moon, stargazers can look toward the southeast when the sun goes down. This article originally appeared on Oklahoman: When is the July full moon? Here's how to see the Buck Moon
