Homer Berry, who says he produced Little Rock’s rainfall, plans a 500 dollar claim from KLRA after a conference. Farmers in McCrory deposited 600 dollars for an inch of rain by Monday, while Berry bets on today’s 2 PM rain. Weather officials doubt his method, noting a cool front caused the storm. Berry describes a silver iodide cloud- seeding process reaching 3,000 degrees.
