Salley farmers endure drought as brief rain provides little relief
A mid afternoon shower dropped about half an inch across Salley and nearby Aiken, but farmers Wayne and Jack Furtick say it offers scant relief after a long dry spell. They report shrinking hay, reduced cattle herd viability, and crops stunted or failing, with 95 degree days likely to dry the soil quickly. Local USDA official Gibson Solomons warns additional rain may not help much as drought intensifies.
