The time needed to water plants adequately has tripled at a Clermont farm. Workers irrigate early in the morning to limit evaporation. They have also found that they need to water three times a day due to the dryness, low humidity and wind.
Visitors to the farm, however, were appreciating the absence of rain so they could enjoy outdoor activities.
