Recent wet weather hasn’t been much help to the farmers in Prince Edward County after the long hot dry spell.
It’s too little, too late. That’s according to Lloyd Crowe District 13 Director of the Grain Farmers of Ontario.
Crowe tells Quinte News most of the soil is shallow and dry.
He says harvestng has really suffered, “with corn kernels being tiny, tiny. But there is still some hope.”
He predicts a poor season, “unless there’s a couple inches of rain and you have deep soil. Not a lot of that in Prince Edward County.”
Crowe adds he’s looking at crop insurance for all three of his crops, corn, soybeans and wheat.
