Heavy rains have local farmers more concerned

Posted: Saturday, March 26, 2011 12:00 am | Updated: 6:38 am, Tue Mar 29, 2011.

In the past week, Lodi has received three times more rain than normal, causing everyone to pull out their rain coats and farmers to worry about how some of their crops are faring.

From March 18 through 4 p.m. Friday, the Stockton area received 1.8 inches of rain, said John Feerick, a senior meteorologist at AccuWeather.com, a private forecasting service. The average precipitation for that week is usually 0.55 inches.
