Abundance of rain hurting local farmers crops
SAN ANTONIO – For many San Antonio-area farmers, crops are their sole source of income, and rain is always a welcome sight, but too much can be a problem. A farmer on the Southwest Side says this week has already brought too much rain, damaging some of his crops.
“We had 5.2 (inches) Monday, and we’ve had a few little showers in-between, but today, a while ago so, far we’ve had about 3 3/4 inches, and it’s still raining,” said Mark Verstufyt, owner of Mark Verstufyt Farms.
