Moderate drought conditions impacting local farmers

By Howard B. Owens

Genesee County is officially in a moderate drought condition and it's having an impact on our local farmers. The Batavian's news partner, 13WHAM produced this story.

The map below of the Northeastern United States shows where it's considered "unusually dry" (in yellow) and where moderate drought conditions (tan) exist.

We got less than an inch of rain in June, two inches below average and the fourth lowest rainfall total for June since the 1940s.

Thank you so much for getting the pictures to show up. Anyone interested in playing needed to register quickly as we are getting very close to capacity. The DAV needs your support. Please visit our web page to see how you may help support our local veterans group. www.chapincharitygolf.com
