WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WISH) - Food prices are expected to rise as Indiana experiences what Purdue University experts call the worst drought in the state since 1988.
Purdue Extension officials said Thursday that every American will feel the effects of the current drought.
Experts said meat, corn and dairy prices are likely to increase 2 percent to 2 ½ percent due to poor crop yields.
Indiana is suffering more than any other state that produces corn and soybeans.
