Flooded fields but growers need the water

If you want to get a sense of just how much rain we’ve had lately, just take a look at look at the orchards and vineyards in Niagara.

So much rain has fallen that small lakes have formed in some places. So far this month in Niagara, they’ve received 97 millimetres of rain. That’s three times the long term average. Growers say they’re not concerned yet. Because of last summer’s drought, the ground needs the water.
