Hi Nancy -
Here are some pics from up near Stratford TX... It is really terrible. Here are some pictures of corn that I took last week:
Field where they abandoned half of it to concentrate the water on just saving a part of a circle.
Circle under pivot with thin soil with little water holding capacity. The band of green on the horizon is apparently from a leak on a hose near the center.

We've been over 100 most days for the last several weeks with the local weather equipment getting hitting a high of 114 a few days ago.
