Cullman County Slips into Drought Despite Rain

bigfootencounters.com

The southern tip of Cullman County has slipped into a drought despite recent rain.

The Cullman Times reports dry conditions have been a concern for farmers growing winter livestock grasses.

Scattered thunderstorms Friday brought some relief, but not enough to make up for the past month of dry weather.

Cullman County extension service agent Tony Glover said sweet potato farmers may find it difficult to harvest their late planting since the ground is dry. Farmers who planted winter grasses including fescue and rye need rain for the grasses to come up.

October is usually the driest month locally.
