Rain brings much needed moisture
Agricultural Representative Otto Penner notes moisture levels improved after late May rainfall. He cites only 10.16 millimetres of rain in spring, with 44.45 millimetres recorded earlier, and warns dry spells have spurred weed growth and uneven germination, complicating spraying. Grasshopper hatching is minimal. no soil drift issues reported in the district.
