A Christmas tree farm in Grant has not received rain in at least four months and endured intense heat exceeding 100 degrees over the summer. Eight hundred or more trees were lost due to the harsh weather this summer. Although some tree farms have closed, the tree farm in Grant has irrigation. The crop maze has not done well, and flowers were not yet blooming, but should be.
