Rain, rain, go away!

Rain? Rain?. Go Away!
Submitted by Rene? McCracken, Director of Agriculture NTCC, Mt. Pleasant, TX

Rain, rain, go away! Perhaps I will regret uttering that plea for the constant rainfall to cease when the dog days of August are upon us, but sometimes enough is really enough. It has not been a ?normal? year of precipitation for Northeast Texas at all. However, not too long ago in 2011, you may all remember that there was a long drought period that we all thought would never end. In fact the lasting effects can still be felt in the loss of our older trees in the landscape.
