SIMMESPORT, La. - Most people do not give rain a second thought, but for farmers, it is sometimes all they can think about.
“It’s every day, you go to bed thinking about it at night, you wake up early in the morning way before daylight thinking about it, that’s just a farmer,” said Keith Lacombe, owner of Keith Lacombe Farms.
Lacombe owns a 25-hundred-acre farm in Simmesport where he grows sugar cane, soybeans and rice. He said a lack of rain for the last two months stunted the growth of some of his crops.
