Sweltering summer heat took toll on many U.S. farms

Extension, Louisiana — Van Hensarling grows peanuts and cotton. But this Mississippi farmer's harvesting a disaster.
"It probably took two-thirds of the cotton crop, and probably half of the peanut crop," Hensarling told CBS News. "I've been farming for over 40 years, and I've never seen anything like this."
His losses alone amount to about $1.2 million. A combination of too much heat and too little rain.
