Rain, Rain, Go Away!

I don't know about you, but my family relies on crop production in order to make a living and keep food on the table. I think we can all agree that the substantial amount of rainfall has been unpleasant, but think about the farmers that can't get into the fields to plant their corn and soybeans. Another problem is that they cannot get into their wheat fields in order to fertilize them. Some farmers are having to pay for crop dusting by airplanes and helicopters. The cost for doing that is extremely high.

So the next time it rains, instead of just thinking about how annoying it is to have to walk around a puddle in the parking lot, think about the farmers who can't do what they need to do to earn a living.
