It has been over 4 weeks since the last rain at the farm. Last week the forester visited to check on the trees. He was amazed that the trees were doing so well. He estimated about a 10% loss so far due to the lack of rain. We think the loss is a little higher in some areas. It could be the type of trees in certain areas do not fair as well. Today, it is suppose to rain. We are keeping our fingers crossed.
