So far in October, just a quarter of an inch has fallen at the Toledo Express Airport. The dry conditions have been good for harvesting, but not so good for growers with broccoli, cabbage, carrots and other crops. They still need rain.
Farmers in northwest Ohio were putting in cover crops. One organic farmer couldn’t get his cover crop to come up, so he had to irrigate.
Trees and shrubs could use a drink, given how dry the weather has been lately.
