The recent rain has been helping Felicia's Farm after the intense summer heat, but Burruel and Burruel Farms Partnership said the rain is damaging to their cotton.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Cathy Lowling started working at Felicia’s Farm in Tucson in 2010. For Lowling, this past summer has been rough, Lowling saying the drought was extra rough on the farm’s crops.
Lowling said they’re 3 weeks behind in production because of the drought and the heat that lasted through mid September especially affected their carrots. She said in total, they lost about 400 pounds of crops per week.As for the farm’s water well, it dried up quicker than normal, Lolwing saying it dried up by 10:30 in the morning.
“The only answer was to invest 4800 dollars in a new tank to make everything work again because the water had gotten so low,” she said.
