Rainfall short in Frederick County sparks crop worry
In April 1991 Frederick County recorded 1.88 inches of rain while through April this month only 1.29 inches have fallen. Harold Kanarek of the Maryland Department of Agriculture warns drought without extreme heat can still allow crops to grow if rain returns. Farmers Jesse Burall and Harold Lenhart voice concern over dry conditions for grass, hay, and grains like barley and oats. Forecasters expect normal May to July rainfall, with a 50 percent chance weather service accuracy. Temperatures in late April hover in the upper 60s with gusty winds at The Frederick News-Post weather station.
