Rain Holding Back Oswego County Farmers
According to Bill Gregway, local observer for the National Weather Service, this April was the wettest that the area has seen since 1859. May came in at 1.64 inches wetter than average, he added. When asked how the rain was affecting his farm’s crops, Jeff Halstead of Halstead’s Harvest summed it up with: “One word. Terrible.” Other farmers, all across the county, feel the same way.
