Too much rain has caused some serious issues for local farmers this season. Farmers have less than four days to plant all of their fields in order to qualify for crop insurance.

Less than two weeks ago farmer's fields looked like ponds of water but, these few days of sunshine have helped dry some of the land.

Now, South Texas farmers are working around the clock trying to make sure their fields get planted because of the deadline to qualify for insurance.

For every day they are late the coverage drops by 1% and after 25 days they can't get covered at all. The deadline is Sunday April 5th.

Congressman Blake Farenthold proposed a bill that would give farmers an extension for the planting deadline date.

Sadly, it won't help the farmers this year.
