how do i save a crop with a rainfall
FARMERS NEED RAIN, BUT TOO MUCH COULD BE A NIGHTMARE FOR THOSE WHO GROW THE FOOD. WE'RE HERE AT A FARM, IT'S A TOUGH TIME OF THE YEAR TO GET A LOT OF RAIN. AND THESE AREAS WEST OF JOLIET RECEIVED BETWEEN 4 AND 6 INCHES IN TWO DAYS SATURDAY'S RAIN IS 3-INCHES AND IT CAME OVER ABOUT AN 8- HOUR PERIOD. SUNDAY EVENING WE HAD TWO-PLUS AND IT CAME IN ROUGHLY A COUPLE HOURS THE CREEK SIDE NATURAL FARM CREEK BECAME A RAGING RIVER. NORMALLY IT'S ABOUT A FEET DEEP AND TWO FEET WIDE AND IT WENT TO 7 FEET DEEP AND 20 FEET WIDE. IT CARRIED AWAY THE FOOT BRIDGE THEY USE DAILY THEY LOCATED IT 1/2 MILE DOWNSTREAM. WE SAW THE FIELD WHERE THE NEWLY PLANTED OATS WERE CARRIED AWAY. AT THE TIME OF THE YEAR WHEN THERE'S A LOT OF WORK TO DO, THERE'S SUDDENLY A WHOLE LOT MORE THEY NEED CONDITIONS TO GET BETTER TO REPLANT. WE NEED ABOUT 8 DAYS OF PERFECT WEATHER. Reporter: EVERYBODY INCLUDING THEM WANTS A LITTLE REST TO DRY OUT. CBS 2 NEWS THANK YOU. THE FARMER SAYS HE WILL REPLANT SOME OF HIS DAMAGED CROPS BUT IT WILL BE TOUGHER TO GROW THEM THIS LATE IN THE SEASON.
