Local farmers struggle to plant due to rainy weather
Litchfield Township, Pa. (WETM)— This season of heavy rainfall has caused local farmers to have to put a pause on planting. 'The rain has prevented us from getting crops in as early as we like the wet, cold winter and then the rain, rain, spring, so it just delayed everything, and you can't get in the field when it's too wet,' said Matthew Romberger, owner of Romberger's Farm. Free household hazardous waste event to be held in Troy Farmers from all across the area are waiting for the soil to dry so they can continue planting. 'I just spoke with a person this morning, and the gentleman usually has 100 acres of corn in and he was only able to plant 4,0, so he's behind schedule because of the wet weather,' said Romberger. According to Matthew Romberger, the Romberger's farm is about a month behind its regular planting schedule. Upcoming summer blood drives in the Southern Tier The crops that grow on the farm also serve as food for the animals, such as cows and pigs, that live there. 'We raise a few crops, and we raise, like I said, seasonal vegetables and potatoes, sweet corn, and stuff like that, but crops also, crops we feed the cattle and the pigs. We raise pigs,' said Romberger. The only thing that the farmers can do at Romberger's farm is wait for the soil to dry and the rain to clear so they can continue their planting.
