Rain, Rain, Go Away
While the Midwest battles droughts, the coasts have suffered from torrential rain. In California, the bulk of our annual rainfall came in one month, just as the stone fruit was starting to bloom.
And now Maryland chicken farmers have suffered huge losses as torrential rains flooded chicken coops with enough water to cover the cages.
Like California, Maryland will probably try for federal disaster relief. Given all the weather issues around the country, it sounds like the government will be cutting a lot of checks this year.
