title: R importing .csv data with date as first field erroneously
body: <p>This is absolutely maddening! I am trying to import a basic, simple file that has dates as the first field. If I import the file as-is, it renders the dates into row names. If, however, I go into the .csv file and manually change ANYthing at all, in any field, the import is fine. It's as if the CSV file has some sort of hidden nonsense somewhere.</p>

This is from the SWAT weather data network <a href="https://globalweather.tamu.edu/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. Any of the data I request from them does this.</p>
  <p>What is happening here? I've imported literally thousands of CSV files in my life and have never come across this. This is a very basic, straightforward file.</p>
