Rain Ends 45 Day Drought Boosts Area Apple Crop
Rain fell .96 inch between Sunday and 9 am easing a 45 day drought that hit area farmers and orchardists hard.

Stayman apples may crack slightly but overall benefits exceed drawbacks. The weather also greened pastures and aided alfalfa in areas of Frederick County and surrounding Virginia.
