After half a foot of rain in April the Lawrence area faced wet fields and cautious forecasts. Meteorologist Brian Bartenbruch of the National Weather Service in Topeka notes 9.8 inches year to date, 1.5 inches below normal, with April totals around 6.5 inches. Douglas County agents say the rain aided corn planting, replenished ponds, and boosted pastures while farmers seek dry days to firm root systems and begin soybean planting.
