One by one the local farmers are getting their crops sprayed in between the heavy rain and thundershowers. When it rains it's a quick steady downpour, leaving water puddles and rivers of running water all over the yards and fields. It has eased off a little now we are into the hot summer months. It is turning into another summer with freak damaging storms about. So far our area has just had heavy rains and some high winds.
