USA - Weekend storm brings a little relief to growers

28.05.2015 130 views

Washington saw more than a little rain over the weekend, leaving behind some pretty extensive damage, in some places, but for many farmers the rain was a little miracle.

Parts of Yakima were flooded as a result of this past weekends storm, leaving many to think the downpour left us in better condition for this summers drought.

While every bit of rain helps, the storm over the weekend was really only a blip on the radar; the state is still battling the drought..

The Bureau of Reclamation says we'd need to see a storm like that one once a week for months to recoup what we've lost from the basin snowpack and low reservoirs.

But on a smaller scale local growers are still happy with any amount of rain we see this summer
