And the rains came

Looks like a washout Labor Day weekend for much of the east coast.  Naturally, now that we got a whole month's rainfall in a few hours, we will get the next month's this weekend.  For a tiny farmer like me it is frustrating.  For the full time live or die with the weather farmer it can be the end of the line.  Drought in the heart of the growing season and deluge during the harvest must be the ultimate insult from Mother Nature.  Meanwhile, the markets remain depressed as millions of people have recovery from Irene on their mind, not buying fruits and veggies.  All those people without power, and many with limited access to restaurants with fresh food spell lower sales for market houses which translates to lower prices for what growers can even sell.  I guess the cloudy weather is making this post more depressing than necessary.   As "they" say, Good Times.
