Rain delays harvest as area farmers wait for dry ground
Wester Douglas County farmers begin wheat cutting when rain paused work. Agriculture agent Garry Keeler notes only a small portion cut before the precipitation. ground must dry before combines resume. If sunny weather returns, harvest could be near in coming days, though continued rain risks lower test weight and grain quality. Nearby Baldwin area saw lighter rain, with farmers hopeful but cautious about quality and timing. The rail strike appears not to affect local elevators, per Keeler, while broader industry impact remains possible elsewhere.
