Rain brings modest help to Teton County crops
Rainfall varied across the county with 4.3 inches at Chateau and an unofficial report of 7 inches at Collins. County Agent Ray Kelly called the rain encouraging though it did not significantly boost soil moisture. W. H. Vance of the Soil Conservation Service said the rain could ease the drought impact but hot dry weather ahead may limit yield improvements.
