Local Farmer's markets try to keep prices down
Local farmer's markets have had plenty of produce lately due to all the rainfall our area received during the spring season. The recent dry and hot weather does have some farmer's worried about keeping up their crops.
In order to keep prices down, farmers try to use irrigation methods to make up for the lack of rain.
The farmers who irrigate from natural sources like lakes don't usually have an extra cost, but some farmers have to pump more water from the city and that causes them to raise prices.
Farmer Bill Horn says that right now prices are around average, but if it stays dry things could get expensive.
