Heavy rains may drain profits for Lorain County farmers
Lorain County farms suffered crop losses from last week’s heavy rains with soybeans most affected as fields stayed submerged. Ohio State Extension Educator Jim Skeeles estimates about a 10 percent decrease in final yield and potential 90 percent sale of crops, though dollar losses depend on year end weather and fall prices. Dave Conrad notes 75 to 80 acres of corn along the Black River were under four feet of water.
