It's been dry since May 16
If enough people ha
we'll get rain; ag r
The exceptionally dry weather
in late May and early June has
enabled most area farmers to
nearly complete their spring
planting, but if it doesn't rain
soon farmers could run into
problems, according to Don
Pullen, Huron County
agricultural representative.
The last rain the area received
• was May 16 according to records
kept by Mrs. Norman Baird of
Brucefield. Last year in June the
area received 5.3 inches of rain,
but we haven't received any to
date this month.

"Rain is needed almost
imminently," said Mr.* Pullen.
"The dry weather is retarding the
normal progress of crops. There
is some cause for worry in the
wheat crop if the dry weather
continues as the, heads fill out."
Mr. Pullen said that the
condition of the hay crop varies
throughout the county, and in;
many areas the hay is shorter'
1 , than normal.
' "The cold weather right after
the hot in April seemed to set
back the legumes," he said.

The agricultural representative
said that with the dry spell there
had been a fair amount of activity
from the alfalfa weevil. He
advises anyone who has the
problem. to cut early, as it is the
only way .to stop it. The -dry
Weather will contribute to more
insect damage, he also noted, as
insects will be looking for
moisture. However, the. problem
shouldn't be mcuh worse than
usual.
The dry weather has meant
there hasn't been any difficulty
for farmers in getting the cereal
grains and corn, sewn in good time
and from all reports the bean
acreage this year will be slightly
reduced, Mr. Pullen said rr.<
He warned thatiarmers should
not compare' this year's ,crop
situation to last years.
"last year was an exceptionally
good year. You don't see one• like.
that Very often and it would be
unfair to compare any year to it,"
Mr. Pullen said that irthe area
receives rain, combined with the
warm weather, growing
conditions would be excellent. He
has little doubt that we will.
"Chances ;are if enough pep
cut. hay we will get plenly
rain:'
