| 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 Sullivan county, appeared to suffer some of the worst damage. According to figures from some of the individual farmers themselves and also the New York State Agricultural Extension Service, losses nearing a quarter of a million dollars were tallied. Financial assistance was granted in many cases. Precipitation figures 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. |
