Rain and Hail Boost Crops as Canal Expansion Delayed
Last week saw frequent heavy showers and hail that damaged tender vegetation but caused no serious harm. Crops flourish with continuous rain for over a month while irrigation remains unused. The Great Canal expansion is delayed by rain but expected to finish next week, enabling water to flow in. Old settlers recall 1864’s similar rains and good crops, yet irrigation under sunlit conditions may yield stronger grain. Light and sunshine are noted to enhance growth beyond cloudy periods.
