HOLLSOPPLE —
Many of us with yards are looking forward to this week's rain turning the grass green again. But farmers tell us that for them, this rain is too late.
This summer's rain was spotty. However, some areas like Matt Kamnikar's farm in Hollsopple got rain at the perfect times and were able to stay green. Other areas struggled and so did their crops.
For farmers, rain is almost always needed. So you would think this rain would cause farmers happiness, but that isn't totally the case. If Katrina brings high winds, hail, and floods low lying areas, she could hurt the corn crop.
For some farmers, no matter what Katrina brings, her showing up now is a nuisance.
A lot of guys, in State College and Bedford, say they've already started to chop corn. So this rain is only going to push them back from chopping.
"It's not going to help them at all," says Kamnikar.
Katrina will help some farmers in the region. Although total rainfall is down, many farmers will get a strong third and even a fourth cut of hay this year because of the hurricane.
