"Depending on the amount of moisture in the sky, we have to wait. That pushes germination dates back and forces you to redo work you've already done," explained Trevor Tagg of West-Gro Farms. From farming to fires, Hilary's impact was felt differently. The rainfall could reduce fire danger in the coming weeks, but it could be too early to tell.
