The hot weather is a double edged sword. For farmers, the heat made the first cut of hay very successful, but the lack of rain is stunting the second cut.

Farmers are concerned, not worried. They say if rain doesn't come soon, they will start to worry.

Currently they are paying close attention to every weather forecast hoping rain is on the horizon.

Farmer Jim Benshoff says that he is used to weather stints like this. He says that in the more than 200 years that his family has been farming, they probably have only had a couple of ideal summers.

Farmer Benshoff is lucky. He can irrigate if some of his crops need it. Unfortunately though it is expensive and typically a last resort. Farmers like Jim are relying on rain. No rain means: no money this year. Jim says "My chemical rep was in the other day and said that he's seen corn that looks like pineapples...Its twisted so tight. So I think the rains been pretty spotty. We were lucky on tenth that we got that inch and a tenth," says Benshoff.

For the month of June, Altoona is 78% of normal for rainfall, where State College is 42%, and Johnstown is a 32%.

Although we aren't in a drought yet, lack of rainfall has farmers, like Jim Benshoff, counting tenths of an inch of rain and they know the exact it happened.
