| event_narrative | A very dry summer finally culminated in major crop failures come harvest time towards the end of August. Sweet corn and tomatoes, two of the major money making crops for small farmers in northeast Pennsylvania, appeared to suffer some of the worst damage. According to figures from some of the individual farmers themselves and also the Pennsylvania State Agricultural Extension Service, losses nearing 1.5 million dollars were tallied. Financial assistance was granted in many cases. Precipitation figures at the Wikes-Barre Scranton airport and other cooperative sites across the region averaged less than 30% of normal for the period from June 1st to the end of August. At long last, a couple of more significant rainfall events began to ease the situation at the very end of August. |
