ATLANTA — Georgia has seen unusually high rainfall totals this year and that could lead to unusually high food prices later this fall.
According to University of Georgia Agricultural Climatologist Pam Knox, many farmers are behind schedule because of the wet conditions.
“The ground is so saturated that they can’t really drive heavy equipment safely on the muddy ground,” explained Knox.
She said because of the weather, farmers delayed the planting of many crops and have been unable to put down pesticides to protect the ones that are in the ground.
