Rain brings needed soak for wheat fields in Southern Panhandle
Overcast skies cooled the day but showers brought relief to farmers across the Southern Panhandle. Sidney recorded 1.36 inches with higher unofficial totals in Lodgepole-Weyerts and surrounding areas, aiding wheat that endured a dry season. Vern Goranson valued the rain at about 1.1 inches, saying it saved the crop though more rain is still desired before heading.
