Rain Delays Harvest For Area Farmers In Douglas County
Persistent Sunday rain has halted Witler wheat planting and fall corn and soybean harvesting for at least two weeks. Farmers Pat Ross and John Pendleton near Lawrence report fields remain waterlogged, delaying any harvest even with sun. Douglas County Extension says wet ground and recurring showers raise the risk of crop loss as more rain or wind could damage standing crops.
