Mixed Emotions Mark Farm Attitude Toward Moisture
Farmers in the Sidney trade area show mixed feelings about rainfall. Wheat farmers hope for hot dry weather to harvest, while those dependent on feed grains favor occasional showers. Irrigated farms welcome any water, and May June moisture is crucial for spring grains. Dryland corn needs moisture into August, and grass cattle are in good condition after ample spring rains. Some wheat faced cutworm issues. Grasshoppers may arise later.
