The core body temperature of a 65-year-old man who died on Monday while mowing his lawn near Wichita, Kansas, was 107 degrees, Butler County Sheriff Kelly Herzet said."It's tragic," Herzet said. "People need to stay in when it's this hot, or drink plenty of liquids.

It felt like 131 degrees in Knoxville, in central Iowa, and 124 in Freeport, Illinois, the Weather Service said."This is completely out of whack for the Upper Midwest," said Chris Vaccaro, a Weather Service spokesman.

But a lack of rain was cause for concern."Corn is holding on so far," Nafziger said. "We're starting to get a little worried right now from a water standpoint."(Additional reporting by Jim Forsyth, Kim Palmer, David Hendee, Kevin Murphy, Steve Olafson and Karen Brooks; Writing by Karin Matz; Editing by Andrew Stern and Jerry Norton)
