That is the opposite of what happened in the Netherlands. Here the farmers have to deal with corn that would not grow because there was too much rain in the spring. It took weeks longer before they could finally go into the field to sow, and when they had finally sown, the rainfall started again. The already high groundwater level immediately ensured that the new rain could not drain away. They have a government rule that the crops must be removed from the land before October 1 because so-called "catch crops" have to be sown. This is necessary to prevent manure from the arable lands from washing into our groundwater because the groundwater quality in The Netherlands appears to be the worst in Europe due to all the animal manure that ends up in our groundwater. This year the farmers have been given 3 weeks longer to harvest their crops because of the extremely wet spring. And to be honest, when I look at the corn on the land opposite and next to my house, it is very pitiful and not nearly what it should be.
