The constant rain we’ve been getting has taken a toll on our farmers, especially those with corn and cotton fields.

Farmer Tim Mullek said it has been raining for months, likely making this year worse than last year.

“In six and a half months it has rained for four and a half of those months. We’ve had two months where it didn’t rain or was normal,” Mullek said.

Mullek said his corn took a big hit, but he was able to harvest a good portion of it.

“170 acres were not perfect, but it was good enough. The other 80 was a disaster and we had to re-plant it,” Mullek said.

As for his cotton, that’s not doing as well and if the rain continues, he could lose more.

“We probably had 10% just drown out, all gone,” Mullek said.

While many crops were destroyed last year during Hurricane Sally, some are struggling more this year.

“The rain from Sally and the rain from Nicholas is about the same. The problem is we had a lot better crops going into Sally then we did Nicholas,” Mullek said.

Mullek said all they can do is hope for some dry time and salvage as much of their crops as possible.

“We are going to hope for some sunshine, heat and a good harvest. And then we’re going to close this chapter of 2020 and move on to next year,” Mullek said.

Mullek said this won't really affect the supply chain too much, but it will hurt the farmers some and those who are directly connected like drivers who haul the harvest.
